Taiwanese singer-actor Richie Ren, aka Richie Jen, is not just busy preparing for his concerts – he's also busy growing his property portfolio.
The 58-year-old star, who is set to perform in Malaysia on June 14 and 15, reportedly spent NT$1bil (RM140.07mil) on 'a whole street of houses' in Qingdao, China.
The Taiwanese media reported that Ren was drawn to the coastal city's vibrant atmosphere. Qingdao is a popular tourist destination, famed for its scenic bays.
According to entertainment portal 8days, this isn't Ren's first major real estate move.
Back in 1996, the Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? star purchased several homes in the luxury residential district of Ho Man Tin, Hong Kong.
He later sold them for a profit of NT$89mil (RM12.45mil).
Ren also made a tidy sum from selling three office units in Hong Kong's Southmark building, reportedly earning NT$220mil (RM30.80mil).
In China, he is said to own additional properties in Shanghai and Changsha, further cementing his status as a savvy real estate investor.
With his wealth in place, the I Feel Good singer can truly relax as he takes the stage in major venues around the region. View this post on Instagram

Bobcat Company and Actor and Director Josh Duhamel Give Back to the Los Angeles Fire Department
Bobcat UTV Donated as Part of its 'Work Worth Doing' Initiative Supports LAFD's First, Full-time, Paid Hand Crew LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Award-winning actor and Hollywood director Josh Duhamel recently partnered with Bobcat Company for a surprise visit to Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Station 88 to deliver a powerful gift: a brand-new Bobcat UV34XL utility vehicle. The donation was part of Bobcat's 'Work Worth Doing' campaign—a nationwide initiative celebrating the work of everyday people who are making a difference. Duhamel, a Bobcat ambassador, personally handed over the keys to the UTV in recognition of the LAFD's first, full-time, paid wildland hand crew, who help mitigate and control wildfires and will use the UTV on the frontlines of future fires. 'I think this is some of the most honorable work that you can do. It takes a special kind of person to sign up as a firefighter, especially in a place like Los Angeles where wildfires run rampant,' said Duhamel. 'We believe, myself and Bobcat, that the firefighters deserve the best tools out there, and that's why we wanted to donate this machine. I think that anytime you can support those who are protecting others is definitely work worth doing.' Bobcat is also supporting the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation by donating a portion of proceeds from the sale of its limited-edition hat Duhamel is seen wearing during his recent visit to the LAFD. 'We are grateful for Bobcat and Josh's commitment to advancing our efforts with the generous donation of a Bobcat UTV,' said Adam VanGerpen, Captain and Public Information Officer, Los Angeles City Fire Department. 'This will enhance our hand crew's efficiency in mitigating and fighting wildfires, enabling us to achieve so much more in our mission to keep the community safe.' Bobcat kicked off its 'Work Worth Doing' initiative in May by teaming up with entrepreneur and Magnolia co-founder Chip Gaines to surprise a deserving neighbor and a United States veteran, Jason Shields, with a Bobcat T595 compact track loader. Shields is the founder of Hoof Haven Sanctuary, a non-profit that rescues endangered or injured horses, rehabilitates them and provides them with a forever home. The 'Work Worth Doing' initiative continues throughout 2025 with other Bobcat ambassadors, including country musician Justin Moore and professional BMX rider Ryan Nyquist, visiting and rewarding people making a difference in their communities. Others can get involved on social media by sharing their 'work worth doing' by tagging @BobcatCompany and using hashtag #WorkWorthDoing.

Actor Shaun Chen saves more after moving family from Singapore to Johor
Malaysian actor Shaun Chen revealed in September last year that he had moved his family from Singapore to Johor. Photo: Shaun Chen/Instagram Local actor Shaun Chen made headlines in September last year after revealing that he had relocated his family across the Causeway. The 46-year-old, who's based in Singapore, now reportedly lives in a rented home in Johor with his Malaysian wife Celine and their two daughters – Nellie, nine, and Neia, seven. In a recent interview with actor-host Allan Wu, Chen described the move back to his home country as a 'natural and logical' decision. 'Since we're Malaysians, we have an advantage. We can reduce our living expenses and stay in a bigger home. 'If we had stayed in Singapore, I don't know if I'd ever have a chance to stay in a landed home as I'm not Singaporean,' he said. Chen, who's a permanent resident in Singapore, also cited the rising cost of education and general living expenses in the country as factors behind his family's move to Johor. According to the Mediacorp star, the fees for public school and after-school care for permanent residents in Singapore is on par with the fees for international schools in Malaysia. When asked to estimate how much he's been able to save since relocating, Chen answered that the figure falls between 30% and 50%. Although he now enjoys a more comfortable lifestyle in Malaysia, the actor hasn't ruled out the possibility of living in Singapore again in the future. 'I don't think it's a downgrade. I've upgraded my lifestyle,' he said, before quickly adding, 'But that doesn't mean Singapore isn't good!'

#SHOWBIZ: HK actor Chapman To celebrates 20th wedding anniversary with actress Kristal Tin
HONG KONG: Taiwanese actor based in Hong Kong Chapman To and former TVB star Kristal Tin recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a small gathering of close friends. Among the guests was veteran actor Anthony Wong, who travelled specifically to Taiwan to join the couple for their milestone celebration. On 7 June, To, 53, shared a throwback photo on social media from his 2005 wedding to Tin, 47. The picture showed them surrounded by famous friends like Andy Lau, Wong Jing, and Shawn Yue. The couple originally tied the knot in June 2005 after dating for six years. "Today, 20 years later, some people remain while others have moved on. I wish everyone happiness. To me, happiness means letting go of the past, not worrying about the future, and simply embracing the present moment," To captioned his Facebook post. The Hong Kong-born artiste also uploaded a photo with Anthony Wong to his Instagram Story, noting that the 63-year-old is the only groomsman he's still in touch with after two decades. He rounded off the celebration by posting a short video of Tin speaking about how he had transformed her life. Meanwhile, Tin took to Instagram to reflect on how her understanding of the word "tolerance" has changed over the years. The Brother's Keeper (2012) star admitted she once viewed the term negatively, saying: "Why do I have to tolerate things after marriage? Didn't we love each other so much that we couldn't help but be together in the first place?" However, Tin shared that her perspective has now shifted. She no longer sees tolerance as putting up with flaws, but rather as peacefully accepting them. "Happy 20th anniversary. Please continue to give me your guidance in the future," she wrote, alongside a photo of herself with To and their pet bulldog.
