Chen Guangbiao (Chinese: 陈光标; born July 1968) is a Chinese recycling entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is the founder and chairman of Jiangsu Huangpu Renewable Resources Limited Company and was reportedly worth US$810 million in 2013, according to the rankings of the Chinese wealth research firm, Hurun Report; although, Forbes estimated his wealth at US$400 million in January 2014, while the Associated Press published an estimate of US$750 million in June 2014. Chen became well known in China for personally rescuing 13 people as part of a broader involvement in the rescue effort following the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Forbes Asia chose him as one of the 48 leading philanthropists of the Asia Pacific Region in both 2008 and 2009. Chen appeared in international headlines due to his high-profile, but unsuccessful, attempt to buy The New York Times in January 2014. Chen is also known for his publicity stunts and admitted in a January 2014 article in The Wall Street Journal that they are part of his persona. Domestically, his philanthropy has been questioned by several news sources.
