CNBC AI News – August 19th – Li Auto CEO Li Xiang opened up about his personal life in the inaugural episode of “Li Yonghao’s Crossroads,” which premiered today at noon. The interview, hosted by entrepreneur and influencer Luo Yonghao, provided a rare glimpse into the personal philosophies of the electric vehicle pioneer.
During a discussion about family, Li candidly admitted his dependence on his wife outweighs her dependence on him, attributing this dynamic to his desire for her to feel valued in their relationship.
Elaborating on his statement, Li explained his wife’s surprising depth of knowledge regarding the automotive industry despite not directly working in it. He relies on her insights, particularly on competitors, noting that she keeps him informed about industry trends he might otherwise miss due to his laser focus on Li Auto.
In a moment of surprising transparency, Li revealed that his wife effectively manages the household and, even more notably, that he remits his entire earnings to her, granting her complete financial control within the family.
The conversation also touched upon Li’s perceived lack of emotional intelligence, or “low EQ,” a perception he partly attributed to a lack of social experience early in life. He even confessed to approaching his romantic relationships with a self-centered mindset, believing himself to be invariably correct.
The interview resurfaced an anecdote from several years prior, shedding light on Li’s unconventional approach to courtship. Before marrying his wife, Li confessed to conducting a thorough “due diligence” process akin to vetting a company’s IPO prospectus. He diligently sought information from her friends and acquaintances to assess her character.
When confronted by his future wife about this seemingly distrustful practice, Li justified his actions by stating, “Once I’ve done this, I’ll trust you for life!”
Evidently, Li’s unique vetting process paid off. He and his wife have maintained a stable and loving relationship, evidenced by their growing family, which now includes five children.
The couple recently made an appearance at a Scottish Premiership (soccer) match in Changzhou, China. Li’s wife drew attention for her fashionable attire, statuesque figure, and poised demeanor.
