Some investors wonder if the relatively unknown Li can effectively succeed his father, 75, whose net worth Forbes estimates at $7.8 billion. Still, it is widely assumed that Li--and not his younger brother, telecom tycoon Richard Li--is next in line. Victor avoids the issue but notes how much he's like Dad. "We almost always arrive at similar conclusions," he says. That may be a result of close tutoring. Father and son share...
