What’s inside JD. com Richard Liu and Zhang Zetian’s Sydney penthouse, which has just been sold for US$16 million?
The four-bedroom, five-bathroom flat, which the couple originally bought in 2015, went for US$2 million under the original asking price
Chinese billionaire Richard Liu Qiangdong’s share of the online retailer JD.com has decreased from 16.67 per cent to 14.02 per cent since he was accused of the rape of a 21-year-old Chinese female undergraduate in the United States in August.
Liu has denied the allegations.
The change in his shares means he is no longer the biggest shareholder of the company he founded.
Zhang Zetian, Liu’s wife, has just sold their penthouse flat in Sydney, Australia, which was given to her by her husband, for US$16 million.
The couple originally bought the four-bedroom, five-bathroom flat in 2015 for a then record-breaking US$12 million (HK$93 million).
The property was initially listed for sale at US$18 million.
Located in the The Rocks precinct, the building was designed by Kann Finch Group and built in 2012.
It overlooks Sydney harbour and is only steps from iconic landmarks such as the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Sydney Opera House.
