Hong Kong filmmaker Tiffany Chen recently revealed that she has finalised her will and is intentionally excluding her two sons – Jacky and Jonathan – from inheritance.

In a video posted on her online channel, Chen, 66, said her assets will go to her grandchildren – a decision fully backed by her husband, film tycoon Charles Heung.

"This is my own money, and I will give it to whoever I want. Jacky and Jonathan get nothing. I have already given them what they need to make movies and start businesses," she said.

Chen added that her decision has nothing to do with favouritism. Rather, she simply wants to ensure her grandchildren are provided for and can grow up comfortably.

According to news portal Dimsum Daily, Chen previously criticised her sons for lacking business acumen, stating she has no plans to hand over the family empire to them.

Instead, she has proposed selling company assets and establishing a trust fund as a more secure long-term plan.

Chen and Heung currently hold the positions of vice chairman and chairman, respectively, at their production company China Star Entertainment Group.

The aforementioned agency has produced hit films such as Wu Yuen (2001), Love On A Diet (2001) and La Brassiere (2001), among others.

Meanwhile, Jacky, 41, is an actor himself and has starred in movies such as Poker King (2009), From Vegas To Macau III (2016), League Of Gods (2016) and more.

His younger brother Jonathan, reportedly in his late 30s, is a businessman outside the entertainment circle.
