The 58-year-old Carina Lau has a rich net worth, and her wealth not only comes from the entertainment industry that she has been deeply cultivated for many years, but also lies in her investment, especially in real estate investment, which has always been unique and can be called a winner. It is difficult to estimate how many properties Carina Lau has in her name, because she not only has a large number of properties in Hong Kong, but also in Beijing, Shanghai, and Suzhou. Carina Lau of course buys a house not purely for self-residence, but for value preservation and investment, after holding it for a certain period of time, as long as the price is right, it will be sold, and the properties she has sold over the years have almost all ended up making a steady profit, even if the property prices in Hong Kong are not too ideal today.
Carina Lau sold a luxury house held in her name at No. 9 Sham Wan, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong, at a selling price of 73.8 million yuan, making a steady profit of 21 million yuan on the books, and the book appreciation was 40%. Carina Lau's sale of this property in 2011, she bought it at a price of 52.728 million, the house is a low-rise unit, with a practical area of 1949 square feet (about 181 square meters), and the layout is four bedrooms and two living rooms. At the earliest, the price was 90 million, and with the current situation of the Hong Kong property market, the price of 90 million cannot be said to be inflated, but it is indeed unattractive, and the transaction finally dropped by 16.2 million. Even if it drops by 10 million, Carina Lau still makes steady profits, and to be able to make money in the cold winter of the property market, I still have to admire Carina Lau's investment vision.
It is worth mentioning that at the same time that Carina Lau is selling this property, her best friend Faye Wong will also sell the property held here. Faye Wong's property here is one level lower than Carina Lau's, and the current asking price is 80 million, which is higher than Carina Lau's price, and it has not been sold for the time being. Faye Wong bought this property almost at the same time as Carina Lau, the sisters can be said to advance and retreat together, buy together, sell together, if Faye Wong successfully sells, the book is also a steady profit.
Although Carina Lau likes to invest, she is definitely not the kind of investor who frequently buys and sells, she has the patience to wait for the opportunity, such as the property that she just sold, held it for 13 years before selling, and finally made a lot of money. The last time she bought a house in Hong Kong should have been in May 2020, when she sold a 1,310-square-foot mansion in Mid-levels West, the transaction price was 44 million, and she made 4.91 million, and the property was held for 9 years. Looking back, Carina Lau's shot back then was still timely, if she hadn't made a move at that time, and it has been delayed until now, based on the current property market price in Hong Kong, the property may not be profitable, and there may be a loss on the books.
In fact, not only Carina Lau likes to invest in property, Tony Leung also likes to invest in property, he holds no less real estate than Carina Lau, and his record is actually not bad. Carina Lau likes to invest in residential properties, while Tony Leung likes to invest in shops, and one of the most popular cases in the industry is when he sold a shop in Central in 2013 and made half a billion. Tony Leung's shop was bought by him in 2008 for 28.8 million, and four years later he changed hands for 79.5 million and easily earned 50 million, and then he bought three shops in To Kwa Wan with a large amount of money, which is equivalent to making three stores at zero cost. However, later one of the three stores was forcibly auctioned and finally sold at a loss, but fortunately, the loss was not much, only 2.3 million yuan, and on the whole, it was actually a steady profit.
Tony Leung and Carina Lau hold a total value of no less than 500 million real estate under their names, but they are financially independent and do not interfere with each other, so it doesn't matter who makes or loses. Although Carina Lau likes to buy and sell properties, not all properties will be sold, and she still has a few properties in her name for her own use, such as Mei Yuan in Mid-Levels. This should be the most frequently exposed of all her mansions, which are now used as private clubs to entertain friends.
Meiyuan was originally lived by Carina Lau, and the time of purchase was 1995, and then Carina Lau moved away, and the house was not sold, so she let Zhang Shuping live, Zhang Shuping had renovated when he lived here, and then Zhang Shuping also moved away, Carina Lau had feelings for this mansion, so she asked Zhang Shuping to redesign and decorate, after the decoration is very Fantasia style, and now Carina Lau's big and small gatherings are here, becoming an entertainment "resort".
Carina Lau and Tony Leung live in Hong Kong where they live in a detached house, with a courtyard and a pavilion, because it is a self-occupied house, so the decoration is more chic and elegant. Carina Lau once inadvertently basked in this self-occupied mansion, and the layout in the courtyard is very garden-like, with a koi pond, a lot of koi in the pool, and chic art decorated boutiques, as well as a place for afternoon tea and leisure. The interior of the mansion is very spacious, and a Christmas tree as tall as an adult can be placed in the interval of the stairs, and there are also many artists' works in the mansion, because Carina Lau or Tony Leung occasionally take pictures here, which makes the interior decoration of this mansion public.
In addition to these two luxury houses in Hong Kong that are not for sale, Carina Lau is located in the Huangpu River, and the duplex mansion she bought for 120 million yuan in 2014 is also not for sale, which should be left for her mother or used when she went to work in the mainland. This mansion is also quite famous in the outside world, because it has been exposed by Carina Lau, and the interior is decorated like an art museum, full of treasures and artworks from all over the world, which is quite magnificent and spectacular.
