KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 — Hong Kong cinema icon Chow Yun Fat has drawn renewed attention to his real estate portfolio after being spotted driving into his long-time Kowloon residence, as fresh reports highlight the scale of his multimillion-ringgit property holdings.
According to KBizoom, Chow — often dubbed the “slipper billionaire” for his famously low-key lifestyle despite vast wealth — is believed to own eight properties and a parcel of land across Hong Kong, with his total portfolio estimated to exceed HK$1 billion .
The report said his holdings are spread across several of Hong Kong’s most expensive districts, including The Peak, Kowloon Tong, Sai Kung, Prince Edward and Mong Kok, underscoring a long-term investment footprint in the city’s luxury property market.previously reported that his Kowloon Tong residence on Cumberland Road was purchased in the 1990s for around HK$14.7 million as an investment, with its value later rising sharply to an estimated HK$200 million.

KBizoom also reported that among his holdings is a villa in The Peak, one of Hong Kong’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. The 2,547 sq ft property was bought in 2010 for HK$128 million, setting a record high price per square foot at the time, but has never been occupied or rented out.
The villa was later listed for sale in 2022 at HK$220 million before being reduced to HK$195 million in 2024, though no transaction has been recorded.
Despite his extensive assets, Chow remains widely known for his understated lifestyle, often seen using public transport and maintaining a simple daily routine — a contrast that continues to define his public image.
