CTOnews.com September 18 news, according to Electrek reported that Tesla has a little-known investor behind it, it has invested more money in Tesla than the company CEO Elon Musk. He is Liao Kaiyuan, Tesla's third-largest individual shareholder after Musk and Larry Ellison.

Leo KoGuan (born February 15, 1955) is an Indonesian Chinese-American businessman who, together with his ex-wife Thai Lee, ran SHI International, a software service company, and served as a non-executive director. He later entered the real estate industry and held two super five-star hotels in Shanghai Xintiandi. He is now Tesla's third largest natural person shareholder.

Liao Kai studied at the School of International and Public Affairs of Colombia University and received a master's degree in international relations. He then attended New York Law School, where he earned a doctorate in law.

As for Larry Ellison, Oracle's billionaire founder, he revealed when he became a Tesla board member that he had an investment worth about $1 billion. That said, he acquired the position and position with an investment of less than $1 billion that year, and it's hard to say how much allison owns.
