How rich are Hong Kong’s Modern Dynasty actresses? Rain Lee built a multimillion-dollar property empire but Chow Yun-fat’s ex, Candice Yu, lives a more modest life …
- TVB’s hit drama Modern Dynasty focuses on the crazy rich lives of the Ma family – but the celebs on the show have dizzying real-life net worths too
- Manna Chan and Lee built enviable property portfolios, Lynn Hung married Hong Kong billionaire Ken Kwok, and Tavia Yeung earned up to US$640,000 for her role on the show
From power struggles to seeking revenge, the rich apparently have plenty of problems of their own, as shown in the Hong Kong television show Modern Dynasty. The drama shows the potential dark side of luxury living, and how far some would go just to achieve their goals.
While the show focuses on three generations of the affluent Ma family, there’s no denying that the actresses’ real-life wealth has caught the attention of viewers too. But just who is the richest?
1. Manna Chan
Apart from being a semi-retired actress, Chan also bought and sold properties during Sars, which helped her accumulate more wealth. Chan currently lives in a luxurious 26,900 sq ft residential estate in Hung Hom, with a 270-degree view of the Victoria Harbour.
2. Lynn Hung
According to 8 Days, Lynn Hung only acted in Modern Dynasty because she had nothing to do at home ‒ which isn’t a surprise, considering her husband is Hong Kong billionaire Ken Kwok.
The article also reported that at her career’s peak, Hung used to earn as much as US$6.6 million a year. While there are no reports on Hung’s current estimated net worth, judging by her previous earnings, it’s probably not too far from her Modern Dynasty character’s.
