Barbie Hsu passed away at the age of 49, who will inherit the huge fortune the actress left behind?
Event: Actress Barbie Hsu suddenly passed away at the age of 49
Star Barbie Hsu passed away at the age of 49, leaving fans heartbroken. Recently, information about the inheritance rights of the huge fortune the actress left behind was revealed.
According to QQ statistics, Barbie Hsu owns many valuable real estates including a luxury house in Taipei (China) worth 12 million USD (about 300 billion VND), an art gallery worth about 7.5 million USD (about 187 billion VND).
According to the inheritance law of Taiwan (China), the first heirs in the order of inheritance are the spouse and children. Therefore, Barbie Hsu’s current husband – DJ Koo and her two children with her ex-husband Uong Tieu Phi, including a 10-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son, will inherit the assets left by the late actress.
According to Taiwanese law (China), Barbie Hsu’s current husband is the first-line heir.
Barbie Hsu and DJ Koo have been married for 3 years. During this time, the money they earned will belong to Koo. In addition, Barbie Hsu and her husband jointly run a fashion brand and an art gallery in Korea. According to 163, the real estate worth more than 2 million yuan (about 7 billion VND) that Barbie Hsu and her husband jointly run in Taipei may also belong to DJ Koo after the actress’s death.
The assets will also be divided between the two children of Barbie Hsu and her ex-husband.
In addition, a famous Taiwanese lawyer shared with Sina, saying that the custody of Barbie Hsu’s two children will belong to Wang Xiaofei according to the law. According to him, Barbie Hsu’s assets can be divided equally between DJ Koo and Barbie Hsu’s two children, each receiving 1/3. However, because the two children are not yet 18 years old, if Wang Xiaofei becomes the guardian of the two children, this businessman can hold 2/3 of Barbie Hsu’s assets. This could lead to a dispute over the division of inheritance.
Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband appeared in a haggard state, bowing his head in front of the media:
Previously, upon hearing the news of Barbie Hsu’s death, Wang Xiaofei hurriedly returned to Taiwan to take care of his ex-wife’s funeral. Businessman Wang appeared at the airport in a haggard state, with swollen eyes. He bowed deeply to the media and said: “Please say good things about Hsu. She is my family.”
Wang Xiaofei’s mother, Zhang Lan, also wrote a post mourning her ex-daughter-in-law. She said that Hsu’s death was a loss for both families. According to her, the main task of the two families at present is to comfort and protect Hsu’s two children.
However, according to many sources, most of Hsu’s assets will be left to her two children and relatives. Hsu’s younger sister, Xu Xi Di (Xiao S), and her mother will plan a reasonable distribution of Hsu’s assets.
The sudden passing of Taiwanese actress and singer Barbie Hsu at the age of 49 has not only left fans in mourning but also sparked intense discussions about the fate of her substantial estate. Known for her iconic role in “Meteor Garden,” Hsu amassed significant wealth throughout her career, including luxury properties in Taipei valued at millions of dollars.
According to Taiwanese inheritance laws, in the absence of a will, Hsu’s assets are to be divided among her immediate family. This means her current husband, DJ Koo Jun Yup, and her two children from her previous marriage to businessman Wang Xiaofei, are the primary heirs. Each is entitled to an equal share of the inheritance.
However, given that Hsu’s children are minors, Wang Xiaofei, as their biological father, is expected to assume guardianship. This role grants him significant authority over the portion of the estate allocated to the children, effectively placing him in control of two-thirds of Hsu’s assets. This potential outcome has ignited debates, especially considering the couple’s past public disputes and legal battles.
The situation is further complicated by reports suggesting that Hsu and DJ Koo had a prenuptial agreement stipulating that he would not have claims to her assets. If this is accurate, DJ Koo might be excluded from the inheritance, leaving the entire estate to Hsu’s children under Wang Xiaofei’s guardianship.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the distribution of Barbie Hsu’s estate remains a focal point of public intrigue, intertwining legal complexities with the personal histories of those involved.
