Hong Kong actor Kenneth Ma is booked and busy.
Over the past few days, the 51-year-old has been on the go – attending a conference in Guangzhou, flying back to Hong Kong for the opening of an automotive company and then heading back to Guangzhou for a brand event.
And there’s no slowing down.
Ma’s slated to head to Shenzhen soon for the production of the highly anticipated Queen Of News Season Two, alongside acclaimed actress Charmaine Sheh.
He’s also holding a meet-and-greet alongside his wife, fellow TVB star Roxanne Tong, in Malaysia on June 28.
In a recent interview with HK01, Ma expressed his gratitude for the steady stream of work coming his way in both Hong Kong and mainland China.
Describing himself as a relatively cautious person, the actor said he likes to earn in advance and save for the future.
“Money is money. You never know what you might need it for in the future. The economy isn’t doing well these days, so it’s important to store up for rainy days,” he added.
“I believe money is meant to be spent. When the time comes to use it, you should (spend it wisely).”
Ma also opened up about how he distributes his income, revealing that part of his salary goes to his wife while another portion is set aside for his parents.
For the record, Ma was previously listed as the second highest-paid TVB actor in 2021, with an annual income of HK$8mil (RM4.3mil).
“Finding work in Hong Kong is very stressful. My dad has been retired for over 20 years. Both families also need support,” he said.
