Andy Lau and Tony Leung’s crazy rich lives, compared: the Hong Kong icons and Infernal Affairs alums are reuniting in new film Goldfinger, but just how do they spend their millions?
- The actors make their long-awaited reunion in the US$30 million budgeted Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong, one of the most expensive Hong Kong films to date
- His wife Carina Lau may be known for her glamour, but Leung lives a low-key life despite his high net worth, while Andy Lau buys his family mansions and private jets
Two of Hong Kong’s film icons are reuniting on the big screen! It was recently announced that Tony Leung and Andy Lau, of 2002 crime film Infernal Affairs, are back and co-starring in the thriller Goldfinger, also titled Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong.
The film’s budget is US$30.8 million, according to Variety, making it one of the most expensive films made in Hong Kong cinema.
Leung eventually became known for his epic works with Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-wai, having won best actor at the Cannes Film Festival for his performance in In The Mood for Love.
Meanwhile, Lau – praised for his matinee idol-like looks and diligence in his work – has earned a Guinness World Record for having the most awards won by a male Canto-pop artist.
The actors enjoy continued success to this day and are recognised for their great contributions to Hong Kong cinema. Ahead of their much-awaited reunion, we examine their lifestyles and net worths so far.
