Grieving partner recalls how they met, while close friends reveal model built wealth as a savvy investor, particularly in parking spaces and luxury items.
Murdered Hong Kong model Abby Choi Tin-fung has left behind a fortune worth about HK$300 million (US$38.3 million) but it will take up to five years for her estate to be settled by the court and inherited by her four children due to a possibly complex legal process, the Post has learned.
Her grieving partner Chris Tam and close friends Joey Wong – widely known on social media as “Mrs Pao”, a play on the Chinese word for panthers due to her love of Bengal cats – as well as Wong’s lawyer boyfriend Bernard Cheng have revealed to the Post how the slain 28-year-old socialite amassed her wealth, recalling with fondness their encounters and enduring love and friendship.
In a written reply to the Post’s inquiries, Tam, son of the founder of popular restaurant chain TamJai Yunnan Mixian revealed he met Choi through her ex-husband Alex Kwong Kong-chi, a suspect in the murder case. The men were junior high classmates before they knew the model.
