Question: He is very rich, having many foreign investment markets, having more... #1 (permalink) Thu Aug 07, 2008 22:01 pm   Question: He is very rich, having many foreign investment markets, having more...
 

Can you say:

"He is very rich, having many foreign investment markets, having more than 50 enterprises abroad,"

as in: "He is very rich, having many foreign investment markets, and having many foreign investment market because having more than 50 enterprises abroad"?

And are both sentences grammatically correct?

Both are awkward an unnatural-- so much so that I am not clear at all on what he has.

I wasn't sure it was correct, I asked on many forums, and only one person responded: he said it was correct but unusual in speech.
