Follow Hong Kong Investment Immigration and Hong Kong News: Having been in the industry for 40 years, Chow Yun-fat has long been an international superstar with incredible earning power, backed by his "Minister of Finance," his wife, Jasmine Tan. The couple, savvy investors, have been buying luxury homes and speculating in real estate since the 1990s, with properties spread across Hong Kong. With the booming property market in recent years, their assets have appreciated significantly. Yet, he maintains a humble lifestyle, walking, taking the subway, and riding the bus daily. His wife is the same, preferring to visit wet markets rather than luxury boutiques, ensuring money "comes in but doesn't go out."
Fat Gor and his wife have been investing in real estate since the 90s. In addition to their primary residence on Cumberland Road in Kowloon Tong, they specialize in plots of land in Sai Kung and Clear Water Bay, later purchasing independent houses and luxury homes in locations like The Peak, Sheung Wan, Silverstrand Bay, and Mong Kok. With the property market heating up, their eight properties have all appreciated significantly, with an estimated market value of over HK$1 billion, making them "property kings" in the entertainment circle.
Despite his vast wealth, Fat Gor has no plans to retire. "I have no thoughts of retiring. Filming makes me happy; there are many people on set to have fun with. At home, there’s only my wife." At 58, Fat Gor values his health, maintains a regular sleep schedule, eats light, and gets a physical check-up every six months. Recently, he has been filming the Chinese New Year movie "From Vegas to Macau" with Nicholas Tse and Chapman To. At the end of last month, the crew moved to Macau to film a pool scene filled with bikini-clad models. Fat Gor certainly had no shortage of opportunities, but he kept a respectful distance.
Fat Gor owns HK$1 billion in assets, with all ownership shared with his wife, demonstrating their deep affection. He is indifferent to fame and wealth; even with luxury cars, he prefers to take the bus when going out. Sometimes he accompanies his wife to the Kowloon City wet market. The couple has been married for 27 years and enjoys a simple life. However, regarding the future arrangement of their wealth, they have long reached a consensus. Fat Gor once stated in an interview that he would follow the example of billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to donate his property to give back to society.
