Michelle Reis, who just celebrated her 52nd birthday a few days ago, took a birthday photo with her shoulders half exposed and leaning on a giant rose.
I have to say that this state is really eye-catching.
Yi Shuier asked in the comment area:
"Is this 52 years old or 25 years old?"
Looking through her Weibo, I found that almost the entire month of June was filled with birthday wishes from Dame Li.
Accompanied by family and friends, Li Jiaxin's face was full of joy, and she didn't look like she had just walked away from the "ghost gate" at the beginning of the year.
In January this year, Li Jiaxin posted a photo of herself in the ICU ward on Weibo.
also wrote a text thanking the hospital staff for their rescue, saying that he had "saved a life."
Later in the interview, she said that her heartbeat suddenly accelerated in the early morning. When she was sent to the hospital, her heart, liver, and lungs had almost stopped, and she almost became a vegetative state.
In the photo, Michelle Reis, who had recovered, still looked severely swollen at the time, which shows how dangerous these 48 hours were.
I didn’t expect that in less than half a year, Michelle Reis would recover so well.
In the photos that are updated daily, I don’t feel like I have been seriously ill at all, and I am very energetic.
Li Meiren, who is already over 50 years old, is the most indispensable classic figure in every Hong Kong style beauties series.
But compared to other beauties in the golden age, Michelle Reis's personal reputation has always been mixed.
, especially the combination with "well-known mediocre rich second generation" Xu Jinheng, was once ridiculed by the group for "receiving 2 million a month as living expenses for a wealthy family".
After the death of Xu Jinheng's father Xu Shixun , in order to prevent family members from spending money uncontrollably, the 40 billion property was converted into family trust and huge insurance policies. Xu Jinheng and Li Jiaxin can receive 2 million monthly living expenses.
Although for us ordinary people, 2 million is already a large amount of money, but for a top wealthy family like the Xu family, it is just a matter of buying a colorful treasure at Sotheby's.
So when the news came out, everyone laughed at Li Jiaxin for becoming a "poor person from a wealthy family" and teased her for marrying a "fake rich person" and she must be living a tight life.
Is this really the case?
Michelle Reis made her debut at the age of 18, and officially married into a wealthy family at the age of 38. Her wealth increased twice in her life, one was when she entered the entertainment industry, and the other was when she married into the Xu family.
Before her marriage, she generously shared with the media that she was worth 200 million when she was 34 years old.
Including the previous Liu Luanxiong also gave her many properties and jewelry, so Li Jiaxin was never short of money.
She once spent 5.01 million to buy a parking space for a mansion in Ho Man Tin .
also spent 80 million to buy a house in the same area. This community is one of the luxury areas of Hong Kong Kowloon.
The area of the house purchased by Li Jiaxin is 155 square meters, and the price per square meter is as high as more than 500,000.
But his personal worth of 200 million is still incomparable in front of a true family-style wealthy family.
After Li Jiaxin married Xu Jinheng, it is indeed visible to the naked eye that her net worth has increased more than ten times.
The confidence behind two sky-high-priced mansions
Let’s first look at the most important part of basic necessities: shelter.
The place where Hui Jinheng and Li Jiaxin currently live is Hong Kong's highest-rise luxury mansion "Xiaolu".
▲ Xiaolu is a landmark real estate in Mid-Levels East of Hong Kong. It is known as the "first luxury house in strata real estate" in Hong Kong. It is a project developed by China Construction Group under Xu Shixun. It is located on Stubbs Road in Hong Kong and has 360 meters surrounding the sea. degree of advantage.
The residential building in Xiaolu is 252 meters high, making it the tallest purely residential building in Asia. It has 73 floors. The price of one square meter has already exceeded 1 million, and a whole house is worth several hundred million.
Li Jiaxin and Xu Jinheng live on the top floor of Xiaolu. They have connected two units AB with a total area of nearly 900 square meters, with a market value of nearly 1 billion yuan.
When Li Damei was single, she probably did not have the strength to become the official owner.
▲According to "HK01" report, after Xu Shixun developed this property, he only sold 30 units, and the remaining 80 units were not sold and belonged to the Xu family, betting on the appreciation space of the Hong Kong property market. Xiaolu housing prices have been increasing exponentially in recent years. .
Michelle Reis also said in an interview before that Xu Jinheng respected her personal space, so a door was specially installed between the two rooms. Without her permission, Xu Jinheng could not enter or leave Michelle Lee's room at will.
Michelle Reis also loves to post the scenery inside and outside her mansion on social media.
practices yoga and plays table tennis in the gym; takes OOTD full-body photos in the private elevator; living a very comfortable life.
From the night view outside the window she posted, we can also see the superior location of Xiaolu.
Speaking of the residences of Hong Kong's wealthy families, we have also talked before. Most of them will only choose two locations: some live in single-family villas in the middle of the mountain, and others will choose this top-of-the-line Penthouse (penthouse mansion) .
instantly recalled the days of the drama " Penthouse ". Unlike ordinary houses, Penthouses are generally not only luxuriously decorated, but also enjoy the best city views, so the prices are very expensive.
▲ Hera Palace in the Korean drama "The Penthouse"
In Hong Kong, where land is at a premium, and in such a privileged location in the center of Hong Kong, the only real estate open is this super high-rise residential building, so it is natural to live in it. The feeling of "seeing all the small mountains at a glance".
So Xiaolu itself is also the favorite of many rich people and celebrities.
Eason Chan , a hotly searched article, lives in Xiaolu because he cried about being poor and said, "I am very nervous because I only have 30 million in my card."
But he is not the owner, but a tenant who pays 200,000 yuan in rent on time every month. Eason Chan and his wife Xu Haoying also once posted photos of Michelle Reis's same independent entrance elevator.
Brigitte Lin and Jacky Cheung were also tenants of Xiaolu. Among other things, the monthly rent of the luxury house in Guangxiao Lu was a considerable income.
And this is not the only residence of Michelle Reis and Hui Jinheng in Hong Kong.
The single-family villa that the two of them live at Deep Water Bay 0 is also a famous super mansion on the Shek O Peninsula. Li Zekai, Ma Huateng and others also all live in this "luxury area".
The Hui family bought this hilltop at the beginning of the last century. At that time, the land price had reached as high as HK$4 million (approximately RMB 3.2 million) . Needless to say, the current price has ranked first among the top ten super luxury homes in Hong Kong.
The wedding of Li Jiaxin when she married into the Li family was held in this villa.
After she got married, she often shared her parent-child time on Instagram as a family of three on the lawn of her mansion.
Every day I either wake up on the top floor of the city center or enjoy the different beautiful scenery in the Deep Water Bay villa. It's hard to even think about it in a bad mood.
So a person’s status cannot deceive others.
Although she suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized before, Li Jiaxin's personal complexion has indeed gotten better and better after her marriage.
A must-have family trust for wealthy families
The family trust through which Michelle Reis and her husband receive monthly living expenses is currently the most easily ridiculed label on them.
But in fact, trust is the method of inheritance of property favored by many "wealthy families". The English word is trust, which originated in Rome and later became popular in Britain.
Many wealthy businessmen will set up children's trust fund accounts for their children when they are born. This is especially popular in Europe and the United States, so the next generation of many old money families is called "Trust Fund Baby".
▲In the American drama "The Fictional Anna" adapted from real events, the heroine Anna fabricated the identity of a second-generation European aristocrat. She used forged family trust documents to defraud the trust of wealthy friends and bank managers around her, and arranged sufficient arrangements for her. loan.
An ordinary basic trust can be established with only 1 million.
For established wealthy families, how the property is distributed is definitely the most important thing.
In addition to the Xu family, Li Ka-shing also chose to use family trusts for property settlement.
Li Ka-shing handed over the management of all trusts with management rights to his eldest son Li Zeju who has excellent business acumen.
Although Li Zekai, the rebellious youngest son, cannot take over his father's business, he can participate in the company's dividends and continuously and steadily obtain family wealth.
▲Li Ka-shing and his eldest son Li Zeju
Compared with the gambling king 's direct "equity split" approach, the hidden dangers will be much smaller.
Because he chose "equity division" to inherit the property, the fourteen and seventeen children of the gambling king's family all have the right to distribute and use the property.
Once any wife or child in the family fails in business or has an unfortunate marriage, it will lead to the loss and dilution of family assets.
And the property allocated to you is always good or bad in comparison.
The third daughter of gambling king He Chaolian recently complained in an interview that the "Fisherman's Wharf" she was allocated continued to lose money.
Because not all second generations of wealthy families have the same business capabilities as their parents. Of course it would be best if
met He Chaoqiong , a "little expert in turning things around", but there are also many children who are born without business acumen, and there is no way to guarantee that every one of them has the ability to carry forward the family business.
▲Gambling king Stanley Ho and the eldest daughter of the second wife, Ho Chao-king
, have used family trusts to concentrate power on those who are capable of taking responsibility, allowing them to develop their family business reasonably without interference.
On the other hand, other family members with average abilities do not need to be forced into battle. They can safely receive their share as a family member and avoid too many quarrels.
Even if you encounter a wealthy family that has established a trust but is still fighting among themselves, the setting of "dividing the family is allowed, but not dividing the property" in the trust agreement also ensures that no matter how hard the fight is, the family's property will not fall into the hands of others.
Therefore, the establishment of a trust is often the most cost-effective option for those family members with mediocre qualifications and abilities.
For example, Xu Jinheng's business ability is not strong, so even though the Xu family's only living son (the Xu family's eldest son passed away due to illness) , Xu Shixun still did not hand over the industry directly to Xu Jinheng himself, but chose to be more Safe trusts preserve family assets.
▲Most of the Xu family’s assets are currently held by Zhou Xing Real Estate Co., Ltd.
Some media have calculated before that by using the trust to pay monthly living expenses, the members of the Xu family can live a prosperous life for at least 1,750 years. It is completely a long-term configuration.
For Xu Jinheng and Li Jiaxin, one is a rich second generation who has not been good at keeping business since childhood, and the other is a female star with even less business talent. They guard a family fortune that can not be spent randomly but can also ensure sufficient daily expenses. There is no need. Taking the trouble to mediate in business wars is not a bad thing.
A "tiger mother" who attaches great importance to the education of the next generation
Although Li Jiaxin herself is not from a wealthy family, she has always been hands-on and strict when it comes to educating her children.
Ever since her son was a child, Michelle Reis has been firmly opposed to her son going to expensive international schools, instead letting him go to traditional schools.
Because she thinks the management there is stricter and is more conducive to her son's growth. At the same time, it is also conducive to the "moral education" of the son, so that he can learn filial piety, courtesy, and modesty from an early age.
At present, it seems that this "tiger mother" education model has begun to bear fruit.
Since last year, Michelle Reis’ son Xu Jiantong (Jayden) has generously opened his own video channel on YouTube, named "JJ Frosty".
thought of Liu Xiuhua, the daughter of Liu Luanxiong and Ganbi who also came from a wealthy family. They also promoted the business of "recycling second-hand crystal soil" on their ins.
In comparison, in every video, Jayden, a child, uses fluent English to explain various online game experiences to everyone, and his talk looks more like a popular game blogger in the future.
At the same time, he also opened his own personal website, writing himself as a "Hong Kong fashion designer", "singer", "songwriter and YouTuber". The
tag categories are: lifestyle, game commentary, and charity. The website
also sells items from his own clothing brand FrostWear.
He also publicly stated that 75% of his profits from making videos and clothing brands will be used for charity.
Not only is he very clear about personal planning at such a young age, but he also has the idea of doing charity, which is indeed worthy of praise.
For super wealthy families, the training and education of the next generation is always the most important part.
educates a child with good conduct and entrepreneurial ability, which is naturally the best configuration for inheriting and continuing the development of the family business.
As for Li Jiaxin herself, after marrying into the Xu family, she is by no means an "empty lady" in the eyes of outsiders.
's personal fame and her husband's family background are enough to guarantee her a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.
After getting married, she almost stopped working and lived the life of a noble lady. Yacht parties, photos of rich wives and other window-dressing activities are all held here.
Occasionally, if you are interested, you can also come out to do brand websites, film variety shows, and so on.
played the role of Concubine Yang in the " Acting School " variety show two years ago. According to online rumors, the appearance fee was 50 million.
Although she later denied this statement, she also said that she was "very satisfied with the price of the appearance."
After writing this, I discovered that Li Jiaxin’s life trajectory is inseparable from one word: money.
Because her parents had a bad relationship, Li Jiaxin had no toys or new clothes throughout her childhood, and had to rely on her mother and sister.
People who grew up in poverty often have a particularly strong memory of "money" in their minds.
The year she was elected as Miss Hong Kong, she won four beauty pageant championships in one year. Her first monthly salary in her life was HK$30,000. Her intuitive experience is: the quality of life has been greatly improved, and at least she can do what she wants to do. Do it.
Some people say that she has relied on her beauty to commit crimes for twenty years, but unfortunately she has no brains, but this may not be the case.
She was originally not interested in acting. She had no masochistic hard work and no ambition to win the Best Actress.
Judging from her previous boyfriends, as the most beautiful person in Hong Kong, the "Hong Kong sister among Hong Kong sisters", she wanted to use her beauty to marry the richest man, the richest among the rich, simple and direct without any disguise, typical The second-hand thinking of money and goods was also the best choice for female stars of that era.
She has the shrewd reality of Hong Kong girls. For her, time is money. The period of time when Pan Liang Tiao Shun is the most valuable, so she will definitely find a ready-made diamond king to be the mistress of a mansion in the middle of the mountain.
On the day of Li Jiaxin’s wedding, the Hong Kong media was unkind to her: All the wealthy ladies in Hong Kong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She herself shed tears rarely and sighed: I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
No matter what she looks like, she still has everything she has dreamed of: "independence, beauty, fame, fortune, and love."
For this woman who did not have a Chinese name before going to elementary school and was insinuated and satirized by Yishu in "Indian Ink", this may be the most reliable state in life that she can understand.
