There is one Chinese export product that is seemingly unstoppable at the moment - millionaires.
Porsche-driving Louie Huang lives in Shanghai, having made his money - a lot of money - in property.
He is having a 200-room villa built here and owns properties in at least five other cities around the world.
But while his business interests remain in China, he has also stumped up the sizeable investment needed to buy himself residency rights in Singapore.
Please look at the following sentence.
Porsche-driving Louie Huang lives in Shanghai, having made his money - a lot of money - in property.
My husband and I think it is an awkward one.
Porsche-driving Louie Huang lives in Shanghai. {This is correct.}
Porsche-driving Louie Huang lives in Shanghai made a lot of money and property. { You could write this too.}
He made his money or he made a lot of money { Correct.}
He made his money and property. { We don't know whether it is correct to say 'made property'.}
The original sentence is strange, we think.
