Zhang Zetian: Academic background and wealth profile of JD.com founder's wife

Zhang Zetian, widely known in China as the ‘milk tea girl’ following a viral 2009 photo, has gained renewed attention regarding her background and wealth. Beyond her marriage to JD.com founder Liu Qiangdong, Zhang possesses a strong academic record, having been admitted to Tsinghua University and later studying at Barnard College in the United States.

Zhang and Liu met while she was studying in the U.S. and married in Australia in 2015. Since then, she has engaged in philanthropy, fashion, and various investment ventures, including interests in Uber, educational platforms, and the Australian baby food company Bubs.

Recent discussions regarding her net worth arose after a Hu Run ranking listed her among Tsinghua alumni with a figure of 600 billion yuan. However, it has been clarified that this figure represents the combined assets of both Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Zetian, rather than her individual personal wealth.
