Profil Financier
Li Hua occupe actuellement le rang #787 du classement mondial StarFortune (secteur finance & investissement). Fortune nette estimée : $5.4 B (-$430 sur 24h).
Li Hua, who also goes by Leaf, is the chairman and CEO of Futu Holdings, an online financial services business in China.
The company initially operated a platform for mainland Chinese investors to trade offshore securities such as Hong Kong and U.S.-listed stocks. Its immense popularity later led to government crackdowns amid worries of capital outflow and data security.
Following a 2022 ban that forbade it from signing up new users in mainland China, the company was fined in 2026 $271 million for offering cross-border investments without proper licenses. Li received a personal penalty of $180,000.
The company has been seeking growth in international markets including Malaysia, Singapore and the U.S. It was also ordered to wind down its mainland China business, where investors will only be allowed to sell their holdings for the next two years starting from 2026.
Li founded Futu in 2007, after a seven-year stint at Chinese internet giant Tencent, where he held senior management positions.
