Wang
Sicong, son of Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin (estimated worth $30
billion), bought Coco, his pet dog eight iPhone 7 handsets on the day
of their release, according to photos posted on the dog’s verified Weibo
social media account — China’s equivalent of Twitter.
Coco poses with her black and rose gold iPhone 7 handsets.
“I don’t understand all the show-off posts on (social media),” read the post alongside the photos.
“What’s the point? Don’t make me do it?”
In China, an iPhone 6 costs 6,988 yuan ($1,047), while the larger iPhone 7 Plus goes for 7,988 yuan ($1,197).
This isn’t the first time Wang has doted on Coco in this fashion.
In 2015, he attracted widespread outrage
in China after posting photos of the dog wearing two Apple Watches with
luxury bands worth upwards of $37,000.
He’s part of China’s fu’erdai or second-generation rich — the sons and daughters of tycoons that are best known for flaunting their decadent lifestyles.
