Nina Wang Update

Continuing from an earlier discussion on this blog, Nina Wang’s vast estate valued at over $4 billion may be passing to Tony Chan Chun-chuen, a 48 year old businessman who is a property investor who practiced feng shui as a hobby.  Tony is married with three children.

Tony is rarely photographed.  The picture accompanying this posting was taken in approximately 15 years ago.

A will contest is likely as there are reports of an earlier will in which Nina left her property to a foundation that would have established a Chinese version of Nobel prizes.

“In a further twist, there are even reports of a third will written just before her death, held by the family, although details of this has yet to be revealed.”  See Ronald Lim, Nina Wang’s fortune-teller lays claim to her estate, Channel NewsAsia, April 20, 2007.
