Mandy Lieu Confirms Dating Married Casino Tycoon Alvin Chau
After much speculation by the media, Hong Kong model and actress Mandy Lieu (劉碧麗) finally confirmed that she is dating Macau casino tycoon, Alvin Chau (周焯華). Mandy expressed her open admiration for Alvin, but also caution over his marital status.
Alvin is married to Chan Wai Ling (陳慧玲), an executive at charity organization, Yan Oi Tong. Despite his marital status, Alvin has been linked with models Kibby Lau (劉俐) and DaDa Chan(陳靜) in the past. It was rumored that Alvin had helped DaDa pay her early contract termination fee with her management last year.
Mandy Receives Career Boost from Alvin
Mandy debuted as a commercial model in 2003. Though the 29-year-old’s climb to stardom was steady. Known mostly for her appearances in many of TVB’s variety shows, Mandy rarely starred in movies in the past. However, Mandy suddenly “struck it rich” and invested a seven-figure sum to start her own modeling agency, Quest, last year. She also scored three significant roles in three major films, one which was a leading role.
Reports say that Mandy’s sudden spike in her career was because of Alvin Chau, the biggest casino tycoon in Macau. He owns Suncity Group, an organization that manages over 200 junket operators in Macau. Aside from his gambling businesses, his influence has also reached to the entertainment industry. He established the music and film publisher Sun Entertainment Culture Limited, which has Paco Wong (黃柏高) as the company’s managing director. Sun Entertainment Culture manages Andy Hui (許志安), Fiona Sit (薛凱琪), Janice Man (文詠珊), and director Pang Ho Cheung (彭浩翔). According to various sources, Alvin’s assets exceed $5 billion HKD.
To Kit (陶傑), the director of Mandy’s latest film Enthralled <愛．尋．迷>, admitted that Alvin was one of the investors for his film. On Mandy’s relationship with Alvin, the director said, “Alvin did help out in the film. However, I don’t see Mandy getting special treatment.” To Kit later read the reports about Mandy and Alvin. He laughed and said, “Wow, I couldn’t even guess. Of course I am happy [for them]. It is good to see my actors getting taken care of. I hope they all get the same happy ending.”
Mandy Spends Night at Alvin’s Home
Mandy and Alvin’s relationship came under speculation a few months ago, when she was spotted with Alvin at a birthday party in Macau. Last week, the pair went to a dinner gathering together. They were photographed hugging and whispering to each other when they left the restaurant. Mandy also spent the night at Alvin’s home in Kowloon. She appeared embarrassed when she spotted the paparazzi.
“As for Mr. Chau, he is a very charismatic person and I admire him immensely,” wrote Mandy in her statement. “Very smart, wise and a man of vision, he continues to inspire me in many ways. We met earlier this year and have just started to get to know each other lately. What will happen in the future no one knows. I certainly don’t. For anyone who knows me, my friends and my family, the most important thing to me in a person is their character, not what their background is. And I very well do not care about a person’s social or financial status.”
However, Mandy continued more cautiously, “Unfortunately as I read the news reports, it came to light that his relationship status is not what I thought it to be,” continued Mandy in her statement. “I would need some space and time to process this.”

And she’s admitting publically that she’s a third wheel? Why? To make alvin divorce his wife?
Mandy seems like she’s got some moral issues. You don’t have to care about someone’s financial or social status, but surely marital status needs to play a factor right? And there’s no talk of divorce yet as far we know.
Sure the cheating husband is scum, but whats with the shameless third wheels coming out in public nowadays?
I wonder by making this interview, did Mandy destroy her healthy image or does she want to only play mistresses roles now?
She isn’t restricted to mistress roles. She gets to play whatever role Alvin will buy for her — just like the “leading role” in To Kit’s film per the article. The bigger actor is To Kit. He didn’t know that his leading lady, Mandy, was the girlfriend of his movie’s investor? Are we to believe that To Kit cast her for her acting ability only and not because Alvin “recommended” Mandy?
how is it possible that when you start developing a relationship with someone and doesnt even know one’s marital status? this sound very naive or she plays the victim and want to clean her name as the third wheel?
She’s a stir stick and he likes to whip it out every now and then. 😀 🙁 lol!
Who the heck is this Mandy Lieu?
She’s only the hottest chic in Asian entertainment, IMHO.
No she’s not the hottest
her body isn’t even up to par to be considered hot…
Not the hottest but super hot enough that any man would give his left nut to be with her
Oh, you got that right………..she is HOT!
Yup, she is definitely hot, hot out of the oven and ready to pop. 😀 🙁 LOL!
@qwerty….If I m not mistaken, she is (STILL) a Malaysian working & living in HK.
She & Liddy Li certainly can be best of friends! LOL!
Exactly, who the heck is she??
Isn’t that adultery????
Omg…what has this world become where shameless women stealing ppl’s husband comes out admitting the relationship and expecting other’s well wishes. Sheesh…He can do this to the woman he married. .what about you? Once a cheater always a cheater. Grow up mentally woman!
Yeah, spill the beans and she’ll end up like his old flings. He just treat her as one of his desserts, as I don’t think he will be that stupid to divorce the wife where the wife will surely end up with at least half of his fortune.
“Alvin is married to Chan Wai Ling (陳慧玲), an executive at charity organization”
Yup, too much brain for him to handle therefore seeking out bimbo to satisfy his animal instinct. 😀 🙁 LOL!
What a !#$%^ moron! 😀
Mandy is not exactly dumb. For example, she is fluent in 5 languages – Malay, Cantonese, Mandarin, English & Japanese. Impressive.
She’s stupid enough to stick her nose in where it does not belong. 😀 🙁 LOL!
She stick more than just her ” nose ” to where doesn’t belong :p lol
LOL!
>>> To Kit later read the reports about Mandy and Alvin. He laughed and said, “Wow, I couldn’t even guess. Of course I am happy [for them]. It is good to see my actors getting taken care of. I hope they all get the same happy ending.”<<<
Alvin is definitely getting many happy endings . .
How old is Alvin? Nothing can talk better than money in this world.
Yup, he’s old enough to stick it and to :p her alright. 😀 🙁 LOL!
LOL!

And to what extent is the “character” of a girl that admire and rub shoulders with a married man? Outlandishly hypocritical is it not?
There you go. 😀 🙁 LOL!
She looks like a vampire.
She is very pretty and hot. All girls posting here are just jealous (of her looks).
Damn straight
Her rep is now ruin, she is a home wreaker now. Might us will try to milk him for much money and attention now, before he gets tired of her and on with a new younger girl.
He’s probably tired of her and wants to get rid of her this instant
Clearly, this girl’s moral is very questionable. Like someone said above, how can you start dating someone without even knowing his marital status but a casino tycoon? And now being a hypocrite.
It’s always good to be rich. You can have almost anybody u want.
These rich guys always have mistresses on the side. Why would they be with one woman when they can use their money and influences to get any girl they want. It’s pocket change to them. Their ego is too big to stick with one woman. Why do these woman hookup with married man. Because they are just gold diggers. They sell their should to get famous.
“Mandy Spends Night at Alvin’s Home”
Where was the wife? In the kitchen cooking for them. Must be cooking up a storm. 😀 🙁 -_- LOL!
He probably have 50 homes
i’ve seen mandy in variety shows on tvb and always thought that she was very beautiful. she’s quite a beautiful woman.
yeah, a beautiful HongKong gold digger and smart enough to land a married, cheating sugar daddy.
She’s so blatant!
What’s up with the people here assume all mixed Asian women are pretty in Asia? It is untrue.
Is she 1/6 mixed?
But Mandy is pretty. No assumptions here.
bunko,
She may be pretty to you and some other people in Asia, but here in the US, we think Shu Qi is much more attractive and sexier than her.
@rachael –
You’re kidding right? I would never call ShuQi pretty. Charming, yes. Pretty? No.
@rachael – I’m from the US and I don’t find Shu Qi pretty. She’s not ugly, of course, but definitely not in the same league as Mandy.
Actually on some levels, Rachel is correct. My guy friends find shu qi very attractive and that does not including her lips. That is a whole notha level. Sometimes, people just prefer that original look
Ah, I really like Mandy but…..I know some people believe love is love and wouldn’t care if the person they love is married or not. But imo, if the person you’re interested is married, stay away from them. Don’t let emotions control you from doing something stupid. Not matter how much she admired him, he has a family of his own, she should’ve known better and stayed away from a married man.
I thought she was dating Wilson chen? Damn I’m so behind on this
maybe like Michele Reis, she was mislead into thinking that the guy really loved her and that over time, he will divorce his wife. I think Michele mentioned she got involved with a men who pursued her and to get her to accept him, he showed her the signed divorce paper but it seems the divorce papers were fake..
or Alvin told her there is no more love between his and his wife. Their marriage is just for show
There’s no way Michelle Reis couldn’t have known Joseph Lau (Dai Lau) was not married.
And Dai Lau’s stable included a whole bunch of actresses, including Anita Yuen and Carina Lau back then.
@ Nomad – where are you getting those juicy tidbits from? I can understand Michelle Reis, but Anita AND Carina? Unbelievable.
no.. it wasn’t joseph lau. it was another rich man back then
“no.. it wasn’t joseph lau. it was another rich man back then”
It was the butcher down the street. 😀 🙁 LOL!
check out be my guest interview….she mentions the man lied by presenting her some divorce.paper that claimsh he was about to.divorce his.wife to be with her but it was all lies
Get involved with a married man and annouce it publicly? Shameless.
But outsiders like us have no right to say who is right who is wrong.
adultery is wrong. extra marital affair is wrong. whatever the circumstance is, it’s wrong. what do you mean by no right or wrong??
Yeah, she is going after his fortune. Look at the dude, he is SO unattractive man.
based on the picture, he look like he have a lot of charisma LOL! Girls like those macho man.
Really………….why in the world would she announce this what is she thinking???!!
Assuming she really IS innocent and didn’t know about Alvin’s marital status, then I can see why she’s confronting this head on (I mean, the girl’s got guts for publicly admitting this.)
If she knew about this beforehand and just never pushed the marital status issue, then she is extremely conniving (cheating with someone else’s husband AND pinning this on him alone.) And it makes me wonder if she’s doing this so his wife will know his situation and divorce him so she can gobble him up on her own.
One word, “CHEAP”.
How old is Alvin? Is he a selfmade businessman or though his dad?
Mr Chau has a mistress, no big deal.
