The Taipei Prosecutors' Office has pledged to investigate the case to find out who attempted to extort money from him.
Apart from his financial woes, the 63-year-old Huang has attracted the attention of many women.
One of Huang's most celebrated women friends was the late Pauline Chan (
Chan was a Shanghai-born and Hong Kong-educated entertainer. She jumped to her death on July 31 from a 24-floor building in Shanghai reportedly because of postnatal depression and years of drug abuse.
The biological father of the boy is still unknown.
In Chan's suicide note, she told Huang to take good care of himself and that she was still in love with him even though she had decided to end her own life.
"I won't allow anyone to defame him," she said in the note.
Another woman who is close to Huang is Hsieh Chien-hui (謝千惠), better known as "little Pan-pan" (小潘潘), who has been dubbed as Huang's "favorite adopted daughter."
Commenting on Huang's personal charm, Hsieh said this characteristic contributed it to his sincerity.
"He's the kind of guy who means what he says and puts his words into action," Hsieh said.
Although Huang is well-off, Hsieh said that he has never used his wealth to look down on anyone.
"I've never seen him try to make friends or offer his help in exchange for other people's money or sex," she said.
Instead of bragging about his own fortune, Hsieh said that Huang has always detested women who want to be with him just because of his money.
"One thing he wants me to remember for the rest of my life is that money cannot buy anything, especially a person's heart or their reputation," she said.
Coming from a poor family of seven, Hsieh had to start taking up part-time jobs since she was 12 years old to help put herself through school.
"When I joined [Huang's] company some eight years ago, I had this crazy idea that I might be able to sell some of the inside information about him to the tabloids," she said, chuckling.
According to Hsieh, she was first hired to take care of Huang's ailing sister and then his house manager, chairman of one of Huang's companies. She is an independent candidate for a Taipei City councilor's post.
