The revelation comes as the Communist party faces increasingly difficult questions about how its leaders, who are paid ministerial salaries of just £8,000-a-year, live such gilded lives.
Xi Jinping, who turns 59 this month, is all but certain to be unveiled later this year as China's next paramount leader.
Mr Xi has carefully fostered a reputation for clean government, and there is no evidence that he has a personal fortune. Chinese officials are forbidden from accumulating significant wealth.
However, his daughter Xi Mingze studies at Harvard University under a pseudonym and an investigation by Bloomberg revealed yesterday (FRI)
that Mr Xi's other relatives have built an enormous empire.
