About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of the international sensation Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend, here is the trilogy’s uproarious conclusion.  • “A memorable, laugh-out-loud Asian glitz fest that’s a pure pleasure to read.” —USA Today

When Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother, Su Yi, is on her deathbed, he rushes to be by her bedside—but he's not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on their matriarch’s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas’s childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage.

As her relatives fight over heirlooms, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu, but tormented by her ex-husband—a man hell bent on destroying Astrid’s reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong, married to China’s second richest man, billionaire Jack Bing, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing.

A sweeping novel that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea, from a kidnapping at Hong Kong’s most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace, caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi, Kevin Kwan's hilarious, gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia's most privileged families and their rich people problems.

Ratings and reviews

Was desperately awaiting this book after reading the first two. Missed Nick and Rachel lot, they were practically just guest appearances in this novel. In fact the biggest issue was.... It was too short!!! Truly it should've been Atleast a 700 page novel and all the character's stories should've been slightly more elaborate developed, just for the sake of complete savoring and gratification. A finale should leave readers/audiences absolutely satiated like The Dearly Hallows out maybe The Matrix Revolutions. But still thoroughly enjoyed n relished it.

A way Kevin showed us his witty about this crazy riches (we can not live without) is entertain. But it is not a kind of book that will be a classic.The West had told about their filthy wealthy, and we Asian also has "crazy riches" since long long long long time ago. Kevin told us now. Thats the point. Or you see this book as sarcasm to this society? idk.

I was surprised that I love this book better than the first one. I have seen a few comments saying that they didn't like this book because there wasn't enough 'Nick + Rachel' moments; I on the other hand thinks otherwise. To me, everyone get to tell their story, it's a delightful balance. Besides, Astrid got a lot of story telling time in this book and I much prefer reading about her.
