Wong Cho Lam Buys $114 Million Dollar House for Leanne Li
Although the stock market plunged in Hong Kong recently, Wong Cho Lam (王祖藍) bravely invested $114 million HKD in a luxury complex. With his popularity soaring in Mainland China and increased income, Cho Lam purchased the condo as a gift to wife, Leanne Li (李亞男).
After their marriage in February, the couple was living in a three-story house in Sai Kung, which Cho Lam had spent $13 million HKD to custom build in Sai Kung. However, the couple was reportedly dissatisfied with the shoddy renovations after conflict arose with their interior designer. While his mother would continue to reside at the house in Sai Kung, Cho Lam and Leanne will be moving into their new luxury home.
With his preference for water views, Cho Lam decided to splurge on a new property located at Mayfair by the Sea in the area of Providence Bay. The 2800-square-feet condo has expansive views of the sea and a 3000-square-feet rooftop. It would be ideal for raising their family in the future. Putting the condo under Leanne’s name, Cho Lam disclosed, “It’s for personal use – I bought it so we can use it in the future, whether it be for just the two of us or with children as well. I’ve never invested in stocks, and in terms of long term, looking at property is much better. I just want a comfortable home with my wife.
“My family will live in our old house but there have been issues with renovations and we’re trying to find a trustworthy contractor to get this problem resolved sooner. Thank you for asking about us.”
The monthly mortgage of Cho Lam’s new property would cost $230,000 HKD, but he is confident that he will be able to afford it.. Cho Lam indicated that price is not a big issue, and will continue to work harder to earn more money.

@freedalas There was an article on here before that talked about Leanne’s mother was disapproving of their relationship when they were dating. And he had to buy expensive stufff and make promises of this and that in order to get her approval. Their relationship has been based on monetary values from the get go.
@freedalas “Why would she want to be with him if not for his riches?”
Lol stop projecting your own shallowness and insecurities onto other people. Maybe you think every single person in this world is as insubstantial and superficial as you and can’t look past someone’s looks but I bet you that you won’t be able to understand all 7 billion people on this earth because some (hopefully most) will be better persons than you are.
@peanutbutterjelly Very well said!
@peanutbutterjelly
Very well said and those were the things I wanted to say. It is sad how we live in a shallow and superficial world.
Hmmm…money can’t buy love but can definitely buy happiness.
@tess Looks can’t buy love either but hey, no one would question the love when both people are gorgeous. How shallow.
@peanutbutterjelly Another great point!
I never thought highly of Wong Cho Nam, but I hope Leanne Li did not marry him for his money only.
No wonder everyone wants to become an artiste. An artiste in Hong Kong can make money like a money-printing machine! Wong Cho Nam seems to be one!!!
What’s wrong with husband showering his wife with gifts? Is this only “bad” because his apparance isn’t ideal? So is okay when both are “pretty” i.e. RL and KN? If he has the money to dish it out, then let him be. Continuously picking on his stature and look is pitiful. It makes you look like a mad, jealous person who’s so insecured that you have to put someone else’s down. At least he’s making the big bucks. How much do YOU make? SMH.
You can have the most beautiful people in a marriage but that doesn’t guarantee lasting.
@jjwong Totally agree!
Went and register an account just so I can post here because I don’t understand why whenever there is an article of the two of them that he get so much bashing! Yes he’s short.. yes he’s not good looking.. yes he shower his wife with money.. but then I also find him to be very caring, down to earth and nice guy! So why can’t she fall for him because of that? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. and beauty is only skin deep.. Even if you are gorgeous, if your personality suck, then the relationship can’t last!!!
I love this couple and I hope they will continue to be loving and have a wonderful marriage with kids!

“I don’t understand why whenever there is an article of the two of them that he get so much bashing!”
There are many insecure, shallow and, jealous people on here.
@jjwong
True that there is nothing wrong with a husband showering your wife with gifts and all. However,just because a husband offers it does not mean that the wife has to take it. I wonder has she offered him anything? It is the same case with Raymond and Karena which is always him forking out dough to do this and that for her,but has she given or done anything for him? I think for any relationship/marriage to be healthy and last,there has to be more of a balance.
Totally agree with you that you can have very beautiful people in any marriage but it does not indicate that it will last for sure. There is much more to anyone or any relationship/marriage rather than looks. Sadly,there are some very shallow people in this world that only care for looks and physical appearance.
I think WCL is a talented guy and at least he’s not old AND ugly which some female celebs will accept as long as the guy’s rich. He’s attentive, caring and sweet to LL. Maybe he has none of the looks or the height but he’s not ugly. I think he’s acceptable otherwise ppl wouldn’t like to see him onscreen. Furthermore, from observations, it seems parents where the mom is taller will cause their kids to be a lot taller too. So at least their kids will be fine.
What’s wrong in buying property/assets and put under your wife’s name?? This showed Cholam have complete trust in his wife, and their relationships is stable. And his wife can enjiy amole sense of security too.
Like come on, will you be a happy wife if your hubby only have everything to his name, especially when he is earning millions???
@dramadrama
Good point,but I think another way of thinking of it is maybe she is not confident so maybe wants something under her name in case their marriage does to work out? I personally believe if I were that confident in my marriage then would I need things under my name? If I was so confident in my marriage then whatever belongs to my husband belongs to me in a sense too. However, if he worked for it and paid for it himself then why should I be entitled to make it mine?
@hetieshou meant to say does not work out. Gosh where is the edit button?

Yeah, whatever. You sad sad soul. Have you ever experienced true love? I doubt it.
Anyways, you should go out more and experience life. Sitting behind the computer and complaining like a broken record isn’t good for your both mentally and physically. I don’t know how anyone can live with so much negativity, must be hard.

@freedalas I have the same feeling as you do. It is very natural if it happens.
Moreover, if Wong Cho Nam does not worry about losing his beautiful wife and Leanne Li really loves him for being himself, why does he have to speak out every time when he buys something expensive for Leanne? True love does not requires all these if he feels there are security and confidence in Leanne.

@freedalas This problem is more to do with Wong Cho Nam than with Leanne Li. Leanne Li fell for him when he was poor and not popular. Perhaps Leanne loved him for his sincerity and dedication. However, since Wong Cho Nam is not short and not good looking, he does not have much confidence and security to keep Leanne as his wife forever. Therefore, he keeps buying her expensive gifts to show Leanne, as well as his in-laws, how good and capable a guy he is.
@orchid123 Typo ………. it should read “However, since Wong Cho Nam is SO short and not good looking, he does not have much confidence and security to keep Leanne as his wife forever.”
I’m not a fan of either. It is true he’s short n not good looking esp when standing next to that wife of his. N he’s still in that nerdy as heck hairdo, I’m sure if u hv that much money he can b more presentable even if short but hey perhaps he’s proving that w. His looks he can get a pretty wife? An elderly once told me any relationship is a bit of give and take and useful to each other. The wife is this case is ptetty but not at all famous or promoted so this shitty but rich guy who self proclaimed of be a virgin, she probably thinks she hit jackpot. If she can ignore the unattractiveness it’s her choice. Nothing is perfect. T
Y’all haters need to take a look at the couple named Beyonce & Jay-Z. Anyone who tells me that they are a good looking couple is for sure a liar. Doesn’t stop them from getting married and staying in bliss.
The older women get, the less looks matter. I used to be one of those ppl who judge others based on appearances. But aesthetics is really just one small spectrum you can base a relationship on. Now that I’m older, I care about other attributes more. So these shallow comments about physical features no longer register as even important to me. And neither does it bother WCL and LL.

@freedalas You crack me up. I don’t think people are denying the so-called facts that WCL is short & ugly and LL is tall and beautiful. They (me included) are appalled by your ideology that pretty people can only find true happiness when they marry only pretty people. Most current debunker of your so-called “case” is Ben Afleck and Jennifer Garner. They’re both beautiful people with same success and talents yet they ended their marriage. Regardless if his affair is true or not, they weren’t happy in the marriage just simply because they’re beautiful. Another is Celine Dion and Rene Angelil. She’s tall, pretty and talented. He’s husky, older and bald. They’ve been happily married for years, decades. You can’t say she stays with him because of money because that woman makes a buttload on her woman and has her own success story.
/End of my 2 cents and contribution to this rabbit hole
@jjwong Oh, and one more example then I’m really gonna back away from this topic: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Gorgeous couple, divorced, no happily ever after ending and Pitt was rumored cheating.
@jjwong
Well said jjwong! As we all keep on telling her,there is way more to any marriage/ relationship than physical appearance. I can share a story about one of my of my friends. She is a pretty and attractive girl that at first dreamed of marrying a tall and handsome guy. Her current husband is not only short but is a bit chubby/fat. At first, she did not like him at all but he was persistent in wooing her. She felt bad so gave him a chance and he grew on her. After she fell in love with him, she could not stop praising him and even thought he is cute. They have been happily married for nearly 10 years. Therefore,love should be based on more than just physical appearance.
About money,honestly who does not marry for money to some extent? Who would want to marry a penniless bum with nothing? But the most important thing is is that all you are going for? However, that is the more traditional way of thinking that the guy must be the main provider which is not the case these days since many women are more independent and make their own dough so they do not have to depend on the guy.
But if you want to,think traditionally,you know the saying guys like “se” which is beauty while women like “cai” which is money/talent.
@freedalas
LOL Donald Trump speaking the truth. LOL
People are voting for DT because he isn’t afraid to BE OPINIONATED, nor care for political correctness. NOT BECAUSE he’s speaking the truth. That’s the reason why he’s leading in poles. There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between being truthful and opinionated, woman. Once again, your logic is flawed.
@anon Lol, #anon2016 because s/he goes against the majority who believe in DT.
@freedalas
Are you gonna wallow in self pity for the rest of ur life? I hope things will turned better for you. Not all things depends on looks. It may play a big part, but ultimately, someone will love someone who lacks in the looks. I wished you will free, dalas…….
@freedalas
I just want to say that while it is true that Leanne can run off which a much better looking guy. However, on the same token, since WCL has quite a bit of money, he also can easily go and find a younger and more beautiful girl than her as well. Therefore, it is not all under her control. Leanne may be beautiful to some but there can always be someone better. That is when their true feelings for each other will be put to the test and that is when you will see if it is just based on looks and money only?
@hetieshou Ah, so true that WCL has as much “power” as LL to leave the relationship regardless if he’s shortness and ugliness. If indeed he had “bought LL,” he can easily “buy” another bride xD
If he has to spend money continuously to keep her and make her happy, something is definitely wrong and how long will it last (the relationship, the (expensive gifts)? There is nothing wrong with a man showers his wife with gifts, attention etc, but with this couple, one can’t help but wonder. The condo is in Leanne’s name only … most couples, when they buy a home, it would be under both names, on a rare occassion where the home is only under one spouse name, it’s simply because one has bad credit or some other financial reasons where they can’t jointly own the home. But in this case … all i can say is good luck WCL. If this is my brother, i would say to him, ‘U R an effin’ idiot’ 🙂
