India, Dec. 16 — Xu Bo, a 48-year-old Chinese videogame executive, has sparked global attention after claiming to have fathered more than 100 children in the United States through surrogacy. Xu, who calls himself “China’s first father” and is known for his outspoken criticism of feminism, has reportedly expressed ambitions to marry his children into the family of American tech entrepreneur Elon Musk to expand his dynasty.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Xu’s company has publicly stated that he has over 100 U.S.-born children. However, the story gained further traction when his former girlfriend, Tang Jing, alleged online that Xu may have fathered more than 300 children, 11 of whom she says she personally raised.

Tang, who met Xu in 2009 via a matchmaking website, has also rejected claims that she owes him 300 million yuan (around $42 million). When asked if the figure of “300 children” was exaggerated, Tang replied: “No. That number might even be undercounted, but it’s certainly not exaggerated.” She further claimed she is currently raising 11 of Xu’s children while fighting for custody of their two daughters.

Xu Bo’s Rise and Controversies

• Background: A school dropout, Xu went on to build a gaming empire in China.
• Career: He created the blockbuster game Fantasy Westward Journey and founded Duoyi Network in 2006, which by 2017 was generating over 2 billion yuan annually.
• Controversial persona: Xu has previously posted on social media seeking girlfriends to “have at least 50 high-quality sons.” He later renamed his account “Having More Children Solves Everything” and has openly boasted of fathering multiple children, describing himself as a “rare elite man” with ambitions to raise dozens of sons into societal elites.
