Born into a farming family of ten siblings, the Huang brothers started a brick kiln and duck feather collection business on the banks of the Keelung River in the 1950s and 1960s.[3] Huang Hsing-chung (黃杏中), Huang Jung-hua (黃榮華), Huang Jung-tu (黃榮圖), and Huang Ku-jung (黃固榮) went on to found Miramar Group,[1] with interests in food, construction, transportation, real estate, hotels, and shopping malls.[3][4]
While some members of the family became known for their tabloid lifestyles,[5][6][7][8][9] others are "conservative and low-key".[1][10]
In 2015, second-generation inheritance feuding amongst Huang Jung-tu's (黃榮圖) offspring culminated in the Miramar murders, a triple fratricide/suicide at a Huang company headquarters.[5][11][12]
