Ancient Chinese rich people had a competition: who could be more ridiculous with money. Shi Chong won. Then he lost. Everything.

Moral of the story: don't make enemies when you're rich. Shi Chong had one guy he really ticked off. That guy grew up, got power, and came back for revenge. 52 years old. Done.

Shi Chong lived at a time when amassing private wealth was almost a competition. However, even though he lived a luxurious lifestyle, he lost his life at the age of 52. You would be wrong to assume that obesity caused by over-nutrition killed him. Listen to learn just how this wealthy man met his end.
