This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. @Aranya: A QPQ needs to be done as you have six DYK credits. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:16, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review. QPQ'd Template:Did you know nominations/Daniel Post Senning. Best, Aranya (talk) 11:34, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, this nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:21, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wealth[edit]

What is the source of his wealth? Just coming from a rich family? https://www.ft.com/content/ecc0e430-99c1-11ea-871b-edeb99a20c6e gives "Huang's family is also wealthy — his father is a lawyer, his mother in the biotech industry", but most people from such a background are not out collecting art and founding museums. Has he done anything to make a fortune of his own, or is this all just vague? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.236.249 (talk) 00:08, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
