Carina Lau
Hong Kong actress Carina Lau is well-known for posting about her luxurious lifestyle on social media.
She owns numerous flats in prime property spots in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Suzhou. Her property in Hong Kong alone had a reported a combined value of more than US$100 million in 2020. Most notably, she has hosted numerous gatherings for family and celebrity friends in her luxurious May Tower flat, estimated to be worth around US$12.6 million in 2020. Vintage-styled, its decor is perhaps reminiscent of that in the iconic film In the Mood for Love, directed by Wong Kar-wai, a frequent collaborator of Lau’s in those days.
Lau has also showed off an elegant, famille-rose “Nine Peaches” vase from the Qianlong dynasty in her home. A very similar one – perhaps even the very one – was auctioned off in 2015 at Sotheby’s for more than US$8 million.
