Justin Sun sues over 30 million yuan bride price dispute
The lawsuit centers on a 30 million yuan, or $4.5 million, bride price claim, as Sun’s high-profile stunt draws intense attention in China.
Billionaire Justin Sun is suing a Chinese actress, Jing Tian, and her parents in a dispute that he says seeks recovery of a bride price of 30 million yuan, about $4.5 million, according to a Bloomberg Opinion piece carried by LiveMint.
The article says Sun posted a long essay on X titled “My Girlfriend Jing Tian,” describing their relationship and portraying Jing as high maintenance and money hungry. Jing responded on Chinese social media Weibo, where she has more than 26 million followers, saying she would never trade love for money and that justice would prevail.
The dispute has gained major visibility in China and the crypto community, with Sun’s original Aug. 27 X post reportedly drawing 40 million views, the article adds. It also notes that Sun has long been known for using media attention to support his business dealings.
Bloomberg Opinion, as summarized by LiveMint, ties the episode to wider concerns about whether crypto belongs in mainstream investor portfolios, pointing to China’s stance on limiting capital flight. The article also recounts Sun’s history of high profile legal fights, including a lawsuit involving World Liberty Financial and a separate case against Bloomberg that he later dismissed.
