Nina Wang or Kung Yu Sum (Chinese: 龔如心, pinyin: Gŏng Rúxīn) (b. 1937) is Asia's richest woman, with an estimated net worth of almost $4 billion. She was born in Shanghai in 1937 and in 1955 she married Teddy Wang, whom she had dated since 1948 (when she was 11). The couple moved to Hong Kong, where Teddy established the Chinachem Group, a pharmaceutical company that eventually became one of Hong Kong's largest and most powerful companies. Nicknamed "Little Sweet Sweet" (Siu Tim Tim in Cantonese), she is noted for her two pigtails and her love of dressing in traditional Chinese dresses.

On April 12, 1983, the couple's Mercedes was hijacked. Teddy Wang was taken away and chained to a bed for eight days until Nina Wang paid an $11 million ransom. On April 10, 1990, Teddy Wang was kidnapped again. After his disappearance, Nina took the helm of Chinachem under the title of "Chairlady" and built it into a major property developer. After Teddy Wang was declared dead in 1999, although his body was never found, the battle over the late Teddy's fortune began in earnest, with at least 3 different wills circulating in the court system. The earliest will, the authenticity of which is not contested, was dated 1960 and split the estate equally between Teddy's father Wang Din-shin and Nina. A 1968 version produced by Din-shin (authenticity challenged) gave the entire estate to Din-shin. This will was made after Teddy discovered that his wife was having an affair. A 1990 will (dated a month before Teddy's abduction) ceded the entire estate to Nina and included the phrase "one life, one love," in English, with the rest of the will in Chinese, stating that the Wang family is disappointing. This will had a signature by the family butler.

On November 21, 2002, after a 171-day courtroom battle featuring some of Hong Kong's most prominent lawyers and accusations of adultery on the part of Nina Wang by Wang Din-shin, High Court Justice David Yam declared the 1990 will a forgery and awarded all of Teddy Wang's estimated $128 million estate to Wang Din-shin. She appealed against the ruling but lost in a 2-1 decision on June 28, 2004. The money was handed over to Wang Din-shin. On January 28, 2005 she was formally charged with the forgery and freed on bail.

On September 16, 2005, the Court of Final Appeal overturned the previous High Court ruling, giving control of the multi-billion dollar Chinachem firm back to Mrs Wang. On December 2, 2005, prosecutors in the fraud case officially dropped all charges, effectively exonerating Wang.

The worshiping places of a few temples are being mismanaged. the place there is quantity, exploitation is specific to be there. some priests and staffs of the temples use all obtainable ability to make the main the committed crowd. it is incorrect. yet many Temples and Devasthanams like Tirupati have arranged some specific and speedy darshan for people who've money and don't have the staying power to stand interior the long queue. i think of there is not any longer something incorrect with their gadget . because of the fact - we would desire to continually understand that money is had to run the form of extensive agency. From the place they'd desire to deliver money for pujas, prasadams, annadhanams, salaries, maintenances, water, ameniteis etc? i think fee tag gadget is would desire to for elevating money. { in basic terms the subject is the employees and protection human beings would desire to get carry of a few undemanding experience classes to regulate the croud } The gadget may be commercial. however the God isn't commercial. So human beings would desire to understand that our Lord isn't inspired by ability of capability and money yet by ability of organic devotion . some devotees would desire to be impatient however the Lord is by no ability impatient . He patiently waits for his unfavourable devotee who has to bypass by way of numerous guy-made barriers. Thank u.
