Xu Yangtian is the founder of Shein, a globally renowned fast fashion brand. Despite running a company worth tens of billions of dollars, he maintains a private and anonymous lifestyle.
Even Shein staff had difficulty recognizing him because he did not appear in public. Xu was born in 1983 in China and was in e-commerce business before founding Shein.
Shein's success comes from its flexible supply chain model and extremely fast trend-catching algorithm. The company is facing criticism in Europe over taxes and supply chains. Shein's IPO has been repeatedly delayed due to regulatory pressure and a plummeting valuation.
Xu currently lives in Singapore and has kept the habit of not using social networks for the past 10 years. Dear readers, please watch more videos : Top 10 'Scary' Technology Devices of the Future.
