Hong Kong screen icon Chow Yun Fat has sold his long-held condominium unit for HK$7.5mil (RM3.78mil), according to records from the Hong Kong Land Registry.
The three-bedroom unit, located in Corona Tower in Mid-Levels West, was originally purchased in 1995 for HK$3.92mil (RM1.97mil).
The latest transaction, said to be Chow's first officially recorded residential sale in nearly 16 years, generated a profit of HK$3.58mil (RM1.8mil) – a 91% appreciation in value over a 31-year holding period.
According to Hong Kong news portal Dimsum Daily, the luxury unit – offering a saleable area of 541 sq ft (50 sq m) – was initially listed in 2024 at HK$8.99mil (RM4.53mil).
However, it eventually changed hands in mid-February at about HK$13,863 (RM6,998) per square foot.
Despite the sale, Chow continues to boast an impressive property portfolio worth over a whopping HK$1bil (RM504mil).
HK01 reported that the 70-year-old owns multiple properties and a piece of land across various locations in Hong Kong, including Kowloon, Sai Kung and more.
