Abby Choi divorced her ex-husband and married Chris, the “Prince” of Tanzai Rice Noodles. Abby’s father-in-law is Tan Zejun, one of the founders of Tanzai Rice Noodles. In 2017, “Tanzai Yunnan Rice Noodles” and “Tanzai Sange Rice Noodles” were successively acquired by the Japanese company Toledo at a cost of HK$2.11 billion, and they were integrated into Tamzai International and listed in Hong Kong in October 2021. After Abby remarried to Chris, she also had 2 children. She continued to support her ex-husband’s family with money, and even bought a mansion in Kadoorie Hill for her ex-husband’s family to live in, and it was registered in the name of her ex-husband’s father.
According to reports, the motive of the murder case was suspected to be that Abby Choi wanted to sell the mansion, get back part of the money, and then find another residence for the ex-husband’s family, which made the ex-father-in-law dissatisfied. In addition, it was reported that Abby and the current husband has not been registered yet, so the ex-husband and his children have the opportunity to inherit Abby Choi’s inheritance.
Abby Choi and Alex Kwong, who are from a wealthy family, have 2 children. After their divorce, she remarried to the son of the founder of “Tanzai Rice Noodles” in Hong Kong, and they also have 2 children. But Abby Choi still supports her ex-husband Alex Kwong’s family.
Abby Choi is estimated to have more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to being the director of two companies, she also owns multiple real estate properties. The market price of a high-rise mansion in Manhattan Hill in Lai Chi Kok alone is more than 45 million Hong Kong dollars.
