How did Huang Zitao Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on May 2, 1993, in Shandong, China, Huang Zitao grew up in Qingdao, where he underwent Wushu training as a young child.

Entertainment, he was eventually introduced as the third member of the South Korean-Chinese boy band, EXO in December 2011.
In 2013, they released their debut album, XOXO. A commercial success, a second project, Exodus soon followed two years later.

Not long afterward, he came out with his second EP, Z.TAO, which includes four songs- Imperial Crown, Feel Awake, Cinderella Girl and Alone. Since then, Huang has also released a studio album titled, The Road, which has since sold over 500,000 copies in China. Some of his most popular singles to date include Collateral Love, Promise, Beggar, and The Road.
