According to Chinese media, actor William Chan has quietly sold 2 properties in Hong Kong (China) in the past 2 months.
In mid-May, he pre-sold a special 3-bedroom apartment with a porch in The Pavilia Hill in Bac Giac for HKD 26.28 million. When buying in 2015, he spent about HKD 26.51 million, so in the books he lost HKD about 230,000, almost selling at breakeven.
However, this house was once leased for many years, at one point the rent reached about 60,000 HKD/month. With 11 years of holding, the profit from rent has almost completely compensated for the paper loss.
In early June, William Chan continued to sell a terraced apartment at Man Fat Building in the Ken Ni Dia Thanh area. He bought this apartment in 2011 for HKD 2.3 million, kept it for 15 years and finally sold it for HKD 3.05 million, making a profit of HKD about 750,000, equivalent to an increase of more than 30%.
However, this price is still lower than the initial offering price of HKD 750,000, showing that he accepted a price reduction to trade quickly.
In just 2 months, the sale of 2 properties helped the actor recover a total of 29.33 million HKD (about 98 billion VND) in cash.
This move has caused some suspicions on social networks such as "Tran Vy Dinh is experiencing a financial crisis", or "his career is so troubled that he has to sell assets to live".
Many people also dragned Tran Vy Dinh's girlfriend, supermodel Ha Tue, into the story, mocking that she "had a child with a wealthy young master but in the end had to bear debt with him".
However, according to the media, Tran Vy Dinh's continuous sale of 2 apartments is only to liquidate "non-essential" assets.
The sea-facing villa in Dai Dam worth more than HKD 100 million is still kept for his family to live in, and the apartment in Leighton Hill in Happy Valley is still owned by him. Therefore, there is absolutely no such thing as William Chan selling his house and no longer having a place to live.
On the other hand, in recent years, Edison Chen's work has mainly been in mainland China, so both apartments are vacant. One was originally intended for his mother to live in, but she did not move in, and the other has no manager.
Meanwhile, management fees and maintenance fees for real estate in Hong Kong (China) are very high. Houses are left empty but money still has to be spent every day, so selling them to convert them into cash is a reasonable decision.
Regarding Ha Tue, people in the industry believe that she has a strong economic foundation and is not someone who lives on men.
Ha Tue is the second Chinese model to step onto the Victoria's Secret runway after Luu Van. She owns many contracts representing international brands and has very high annual income. She also owns real estate in many places and her personal assets have far exceeded the level of "dependence on her husband".
In 2014, she was married to a person claiming to be a wealthy businessman, but later discovered that it was just a fraudulent facade. Ha Tue quickly divorced after 7 months. Although the incident caused her to be labeled "greedy for wealth", in reality she was the one who was deceived.
Looking at Ha Tue's career and finances, using the phrase "golden dream" to talk about her is clearly inappropriate.
