Xu Bo, the 48-year-old founder of online gaming company Duoyi Network, has reportedly fathered over 100 US-born children through surrogacy, aiming to build a large family dynasty. He publicly stated his intention to sire at least '50 high-quality sons' and expressed hopes for his children to marry Elon Musk's children. Xu Bo is currently involved in a custody dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Tang Jing, who claims he fathered over 300 children and is seeking financial compensation. In 2023, a United States — California judge rejected Xu Bo's petitions for parental rights for several unborn and born children, leaving them in legal limbo and exposing issues within the surrogacy industry. Many of his children reportedly live in Irvine, United States — California, cared for by nannies, with Xu Bo stating he plans to bring them to China. Duoyi Network has acknowledged Xu Bo's surrogacy efforts, though a representative stated 'much of what you described is untrue' without specifying details.
