Edison Chen whips up a storm by sharing a photo of his daughter at play in a US$68,500 Supreme x LV toy chest
The Hong Kong actor recently sparked controversy when he posted a picture on Instagram of his 1-year-old girl enjoying herself inside a luxury collaboration trunk
For those of you who don’t know Asian celebrity Edison Chen Koon-hei, here’s a quick summary.
Chen is a Hong Kong-Canadian actor, singer-songwriter, rapper, producer, entrepreneur and fashion designer.
His shenanigans include a sex photo scandal back in 2008, when private photographs of him and several Hong Kong Chinese actresses were leaked online.
Eventually, his reputation underwent a swift transformation in 2017, when he and his Chinese model girlfriend, Qin Shupei, had a daughter named Alaia. The three-year-old daughter of Chen is often seen on his Instagram handle, on which he has a steady 2.2 million followers.
Chen stepped back into the limelight at Christmas with a post that stirred up yet another controversy on social media: a picture of sweet innocent Alaia in an uber-glam “toy chest”, which we hear cost US$68,500.
This limited edition Supreme x Louis Vuitton collaboration trunk was unveiled in 2017, and is one of the most expensive pieces in the collection. It was sold at auction for a staggering US$100,000 last year.
Of course, the whopping price tag caught the attention of trolls on social media. One user commented, “Expensive items plus a priceless cute daughter. Life is fantastic”, while another questioned what kind of #richlife the picture is portraying. One captioned it “The life of a princess”.
