About

Jasmine Li became famous in China after she was photographed attending a debutante ball in Paris in 2009 with other wealthy and politically connected ​young female friends. Li attended boarding school in the United States and completed a bachelor’s degree at Stanford University in California. After leaving ​the university, Li began working in the art world as an assistant for the New York-based Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang and later as an “gallery relations liason” ​for the online art retailer Artsy in New York and Hong Kong. Her grandfather, Jia Qinglin, was China's fourth-ranking official on the ruling Politburo Standing ​Committee until he stepped down in 2012.

In the Data

When Jasmine Li was still a teenager and studying at Stanford University, she became the sole shareholder of Harvest Sun Trading Limited, a company that ​was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in 2009. Harvest Sun was transferred for $1 to Jasmine Li by Zhang Yuping, the founder of China’s leading luxury ​watch distributor Hengdeli Holdings Limited, in December 2010. Jasmine Li was also the sole shareholder of another BVI company called Xin Sheng ​Investments. Harvest Sun and Xin Sheng are the parent companies of two Beijing-registered consulting companies. Because Jasmine Li owned the two Beijing ​companies through her BVI entities, her name does not appear on publicly available registration documents, allowing her ownership of those companies to ​remain secret.

Li did not reply to requests for comments.
