Timeline
Wang was born in Tianjin in 1961.
He graduated from Civil Aviation University of China in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in aviation business management, and worked for the Civil Aviation Administration of China afterwards.
In 1990, Wang participated in the establishment of Hainan Airlines, based in Hainan province, and became the new company's chief executive.
He later received training at Japan Airlines on a scholarship from the Association for Overseas Technical Scholarship (AOTS), and earned an MBA from the Maastricht School of Management in the Netherlands in 1995.
HNA was the world's 170th largest company by revenue in 2017 according to Fortune Global 500.
Wang and Chen were HNA’s largest individual shareholders, with each owning about 15% of the company.
Together with partner Chen Feng, Wang also founded the conglomerate HNA Group, which grew to become the world's 170th largest company according to Fortune Global 500, with total revenue of US$53 billion in 2017.
Chen acted as the public face of the company, while Wang was a hands-on manager with a lower public profile.
Both men were instrumental in HNA's phenomenal transformation from a small airline to a global conglomerate with assets worth US$230 billion, including major stakes in Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Deutsche Bank, NH Hotel Group, and ownership of Ingram Micro.
Wang and Chen were the largest individual shareholders of HNA, with each owning about 15% of the company as of 2017, making them two of the richest people in China.
In addition to his responsibilities at HNA, Wang also taught as a part-time professor at his alma mater, Civil Aviation University of China.
Wang Jian had a younger brother, Wang Wei, who has played a key behind-the-scenes role at HNA Group.
Wang Jian (1961 – 3 July 2018) was a Chinese entrepreneur and billionaire.
Together with Chen Feng, he was co-founder and co-chairman of Hainan Airlines and the affiliated conglomerate HNA Group, with assets worth US$230 billion in 2018.
He died from a likely accidental fall while travelling in France in July 2018.
However, HNA's acquisition spree was substantially funded by debt, which had reached US$90 billion in 2018, and it was working to sell billions of dollars of assets to reduce its debt load at the time of Wang's accidental death.
In July 2018, Wang made a business trip in France.
On 3 July, he took a sightseeing detour with his colleagues in Bonnieux, a hilltop village in the region of Provence.
He climbed onto a low wall above a cliff to have his picture taken, but lost his balance and fell backward, landing on rocks about 15 m below.
He was pronounced dead a few hours later.
According to French media reports, eye-witnesses of the incident said that Wang died by jumping off the wall.
But French police denied these claims.
Wang's death was a blow to HNA, which was in the midst of selling its foreign assets to reduce its debt load, and the prices of the company's dollar bonds fell after his death was confirmed.
Hainan Airlines along with other airlines from HNA Group changed its website to a gray color scheme to honour his death.
