Feng shui master Tony Chan hot for dead lover’s money
I haven’t been following the probate trial of deceased Hong Kong businesswoman Nina Wang, but by-golly I wish I had been. The details of the trial sound like a Shaw Brothers’ production of a Jackie Collins’ novel. Aside from the May-December aspect of Wang’s romance with feng shui practitioner Tony Chan (she was 69 when she shuffled off her mortal coil, he was 49), Chan’s testimony has revealed all kinds of nuttiness…
Over several days, the married Chan gave his eagerly-awaited testimony in court, describing his affair with Wang as an intimate one filled with nocturnal trysts, bizarre feng shui rituals including the digging of holes and burning banknotes, overseas trips and shared hobbies like flying model helicopters.
Lawrence Lok, a lawyer for the Chinachem Charitable Foundation representing Wang’s family, which lays claim to an earlier will, described Chan as Wang’s “toy boy”.
But Chan flatly denied this: “It’s not a sin to love someone 23 years your senior … age is not a boundary of love.”
The Foundation has claimed Chan’s will is a fake.
Under aggressive bursts of questioning, Lok suggested Chan lured Wang into giving him three “gratuitous” cash gifts each worth around $89 million, to heal her deteriorating illness.
“This is ridiculous, how am I able to rejuvenate a person,” Chan replied. “It is a gift to me. She addressed me as hubby and she loved me,” the crew-cut, stocky Chan added.
Indeed – nothing brings two people together like model helicopters and burning money.
