  • He has owned several Ferraris – Testarossa 512TR, F355 F1 Spider and 360 Modena – plus an Audi RS4 and Lamborghini LP700, several of which he has also crashed
  • He bought a mansion for his mother, actress Deborah Lee; a Repulse Bay flat plus a Rolls-Royce for dad, actor Patrick Tse; and a flat for his sister Jennifer

Besides his career as an actor and singer, Hong Kong’s Nicholas Tse now has a successful TV show, Chef Nic, where he documents his culinary endeavours with famous personalities like Jackie Chan and Fan Bingbing, and a food brand also called Chef Nic, that sells biscuits, noodles and milk tea.

From the way he has splashed it around, the star, who turns 41 on August 29, is generous not only to himself and his family – but also his pets.

His two houses: one for his cats and another for his dog

Known as a very low-key celebrity, Tse’s life is quite secret. If not for his pets, his luxury houses would probably have never been revealed. From videos he has posted of himself playing with them, it seems he now lives in a high-end neighbourhood in Hong Kong. His home’s living room and bedroom have floor-to-ceiling windows with sea views, according to Min News. It is also home to his kittens Miso and Dashi, so there are a lot of cat towers, beds and toys.

But perhaps Tse’s cats don’t get along with his dog, because he has another home where his recently acquired pooch Mustard lives. In another video, “Mustard’s house” looks like a large duplex with a huge space for him to run in as well as a backyard in which to shower, as per Today. The house also has room enough for Tse’s drum set.

These houses are not the only properties Tse owns. He has two properties at Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, per Malay Mail, on which he had to reduce the rent due to Covid-19. Last year, he also sold his former 2,600 sq ft house in Redhill, on the south side of Hong Kong, at US$7.7 million, with a loss of up to US$1.8 million.
