The rapid development of China’s economy has generated a huge number of high-net-worth individuals. Today, most of these “money makers” have known the decrees of Heaven. The risk of inheritance of family wealth is exposed, and how their wealth can be inherited has become a common concern for them. Meanwhile, the massive accumulation of wealth renders them profound thinking on social responsibility and life value.
As the “third distribution” is incorporated into China’s basic institutional arrangements, China will usher in the “third distribution” era, which will inevitably bring about innovations in the concept of wealth inheritance and wealth solutions. In this context, family philanthropy, which can not only effectuate wealth inheritance, but also enhance the social value of wealth, has gradually become a new trend among high-net-worth groups. However, family philanthropy in China is in the early stage of development, and confronted with opportunities and challenges of the new era, it urgently requires more systematic thinking and researches.
