#SHOWBIZ: Cathy Chui's late father-in-law leaves her RM1.1 bilion in assets
HONG KONG: Former actress turned socialite Cathy Chui received assets and gifts totalling HK$2 billion (RM1.1 billion) from her father-in-law, property tycoon Lee Shau Kee, before his passing on March 17.
Chui, 43, was gifted an education fund of HK$50 million (RM27.2 million), land valued at HK$1.82 billion (RM1 billion), a luxury yacht worth HK$110 million (RM59.9 million), and a private bungalow.
NDTV reported that this inheritance was bestowed due to Lee's confidence in Chui's crucial role within both the family and his extensive business empire.
Chui gained prominence after her marriage in 2006 to Martin Lee Ka-Shing, son of the real estate magnate.
Lee is the founder of Henderson Land Development, and Chui is his sole daughter-in-law.
A mother of four, she is actively involved in managing the family's business interests.
Her eldest daughter is currently undertaking industrial training at Henderson Land, while her second child, aged 15, is studying at the University of Cambridge.
Chui is also recognised for her philanthropic endeavours, having been appointed as an honorary chairperson and ambassador for several charitable organisations.
In 2018, she was honoured with the AMFAR Award Of Courage for her significant contributions to society.
