Chapter 586 Little Gilbert's Assets

In fact, the movie "The Last of Us" is not very suitable for children to watch. After all, it is not a family movie, and some of the scenes in it are quite scary.

But Ilian said he had no problem and would not be scared. So after the red carpet ceremony, Gilbert Jr. did not send him back to rest, but continued to watch the movie.

The parents of the lead actress Saoirse Ronan also came to the premiere. The couple were very excited and were also looking forward to their daughter's performance in the movie.

This is the work of the great director Gilbert Jr. Being able to star in his movie means that his daughter is about to soar to fame.

The couple has watched several previous trailers of "The Last of Us" repeatedly and are very happy about their daughter's outstanding performance.

Little Gilbert's films are also very popular in Ireland. Saoirse Ronan was reported by the Irish media for her role in Little Gilbert's films and has now become a well-known little star in Ireland.

Speaking of Ireland, little Gilbert has a connection with that place. "Saving Private Ryan" was filmed there.

But Gilbert Jr. has never returned to Ireland for many years, and every time he goes to Europe to promote his movies, he basically never goes to this place.

The main reason is that this place has a small population, low movie consumption capacity, and a small market.

However, the use of Irish young actress Saoirse Ronan this time is a good thing for the Irish, who don't have much big entertainment news.

Maybe, "The Last of Us" can create good results in Ireland.

Compared to the excitement of Saoirse Ronan's parents, Saoirse Ronan herself seemed much calmer. Although this was her first time starring in a movie, she was working with superstars like Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise.

This calm look made Gilbert Jr. praise Saoirse Ronan again and again, saying that she has the style of a great general.

In any case, it's finally time for "The Last of Us" to meet movie fans.

The first classic scene is the flashing titles of Disney and Warner, followed by the logo of Cantaloupe Studios, and finally the work of Gilbert Landrini Jr. appearing on the big screen.

The audience in the theater were very well-mannered and quiet, maintaining a peaceful movie-watching atmosphere.

After attending the preview of "Iron Man", Peter received an invitation to the premiere of "The Last of Us". Since he became a popular film critic, he has been able to watch many movies through this identity.

Peter finally experienced the joy of being a film critic, he could watch movies for free and receive gifts. This job was much better than being a teacher, he simply loved it.

Of course, among so many movies, he liked to watch Little Gilbert's movies the most.

Maybe it was because the first film he wrote about on IMDB was a film by Gilbert Jr., so he has a special feeling for Gilbert Jr.'s films.

I heard that a video website is very popular recently, and many bloggers have joined this video website. Sharing your content in the form of video is undoubtedly more attractive than content and pictures.

Peter also considered transforming himself and joining a video website, where he would continue to write film reviews with his magnetic voice.

I heard that this video website is owned by Banana. Anyone who knows a little about it will know that it is an Internet company controlled by Gilbert Jr. Its current market value continues to soar and has exceeded 1000 billion US dollars.

Its Banana software is the largest photo-sharing and social networking site in the United States. It has also launched Twitter and Youtube, a video-sharing site based on social circles.

Although I don't understand why it is called youtube, I heard that this is the name given by little Gilbert.

Of course, this is far less than another Internet company owned by Gilbert Jr. Xigua, which mainly operates search engines and portal websites, and also develops hardware and software. Its market value has exceeded 500 billion US dollars and is still rising.

But what is strange is that the market value of the companies he controls continues to rise, sweeping away the haze since the Internet bubble and entering the fast lane, but his own apparent wealth has not increased much.

Just recently, Forbes magazine released the list of the world's richest people. Gilbert Jr. ranked third with assets of 450 billion US dollars, behind the richest man Bill Gates with 560 billion US dollars and the stock god Warren Buffett with 520 billion US dollars.

Among the top ten, Gilbert Jr. is the youngest at the age of 36. Kenneth Thomson from the Canadian Thomson Group ranks tenth at the age of 82 with a fortune of $196 billion.

It is worth mentioning that Saudi Prince Walid ranked ninth on the list with assets of 200 billion US dollars. Little Gilbert remembered this person's name mainly because the future little Salman got rid of him.

In addition, Li Ka-shing, the superman from Hong Kong Island, ranked eleventh on the list with assets of US$188 billion. If it weren't for Gilbert Jr.'s intervention, he might have been in the top ten.

As soon as this list was released, it immediately aroused a lot of doubts, questioning the authenticity of the list.

You should know that Gilbert Jr. not only holds shares in Banana and Xigua, he is also a shareholder of Time Warner and Disney, as well as shares in Apple and Amazon, and even shares in emerging companies such as Nvidia and Tesla.

No matter how you look at it, Gilbert Jr.'s assets should have surpassed Bill Gates' long ago. It can't be just $450 billion, right?
Forbes explained that Gilbert Jr. controls all Internet technology companies through fruit companies.

However, fruit companies are not listed and are not obliged to disclose their financial statements.

According to Forbes, Gilbert Jr. has been reducing his holdings in recent years, while the number of Silicon Valley funds and Wall Street funds that have increased their holdings in several companies has continued to increase, so Forbes speculates that Gilbert Jr.'s assets are not as much as imagined.

The specific facts are unknown, because even if the public asks Gilbert Jr. to disclose his assets, he has no obligation to do so.

Coincidentally, Gilbert Jr. is also ranked third on the Forbes Celebrity List.

The first place goes without saying, Tom Cruise, the eternal Hollywood superstar. In fact, Tom Cruise should be counted together with Nicole Kidman, because the Rolling Stones, which ranked second, are also counted together.

But even without the influence of his wife Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise still crushes the list and can be called the star among Hollywood stars.

Another person on the list is worthy of attention. Donald, who ranks twelfth, is considered to be Gilbert Jr.'s father-in-law, after all, he had an affair with his daughter.

The show "Walking with Millionaires" hosted by Donald is very popular. He often brings up the matter of his daughter Ivanka and Gilbert Jr., which makes Ivanka very angry.

Unfortunately, there are no Asians on the Forbes Celebrity List.

But this is the embarrassment of Asian celebrities in this era. The most interesting thing is that on the Forbes Chinese Celebrity List, Gilbert Jr. is ranked eighth, just behind Fan Xiaobing, pushing Pigeon Chen to ninth place.

It may seem strange that a foreign director is on the Forbes China Celebrity List, but after a closer look, you will find that this is actually very normal.

When it comes to the popularity of Hollywood directors in China, Gilbert Jr. is undoubtedly ranked first.

Ever since "Real Steel" first entered the Chinese market, his films have accumulated a large audience base in that land and have countless fans.

In addition, the "Lord of the Rings" series was filmed in China, the fake student list incident almost caused a diplomatic incident, and he himself was an expert on China, so Gilbert Jr. was very well-known in China.

Although there were some scary shots in "The Last of Us", the big scissors over there just cut it and gave the dragon mark with one stroke, which shows how much that land loves little Gilbert.
