#SHOWBIZ: Cathy Chui's late father-in-law leaves her RM1.1 bilion in assets
Chui, 43, was gifted an education fund of HK$50 million (RM27.2 million), land valued at HK$1.82 billion (RM1 billion), a luxury yacht worth HK$110 million (RM59.9 million), and a private bungalow.
NDTV reported that this inheritance was bestowed due to Lee's confidence in Chui's crucial role within both the family and his extensive business empire.
Chui gained prominence after her marriage in 2006 to Martin Lee Ka-Shing, son of the real estate magnate.
Lee is the founder of Henderson Land Development, and Chui is his sole daughter-in-law.
A mother of four, she is actively involved in managing the family's business interests.
Her eldest daughter is currently undertaking industrial training at Henderson Land, while her second child, aged 15, is studying at the University of Cambridge.
Chui is also recognised for her philanthropic endeavours, having been appointed as an honorary chairperson and ambassador for several charitable organisations.
In 2018, she was honoured with the AMFAR Award Of Courage for her significant contributions to society.

S. Korea president says ‘doing utmost' for trade deal with US
SEOUL: South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung said Thursday his administration was doing its 'utmost' to secure a trade deal with the United States ahead of President Donald Trump's deadline next week for imposing fresh country specific levies. 'It's certainly not easy, that much is clear. And to be honest, I can't say with confidence that we'll be able to wrap everything up by July 8,' Lee said at a press conference marking his first month in office. 'We're doing our best, and the goal is to reach a genuinely mutually beneficial outcome, but at this stage, both sides still haven't clearly defined what exactly they want,' he said, adding: 'All I can say for now is that we're doing our utmost.' Already hit by sector levies on steel and car exports, Seoul is laser-focused on negotiations over a 25 percent country-specific tariff that has been suspended until next week. Without an agreement, it will come into effect just after midnight Washington time on July 9. Seoul's ministry of industry and trade confirmed this week it is seeking an extension. 'With the US tariff suspension deadline fast approaching, the direction of Washington's future actions remains highly uncertain and volatile, including whether the suspension will be extended,' trade minister Yeo Han-koo said Thursday. Yeo said the reimposition of US tariffs would be a 'grave situation' requiring an all-out, government-wide effort to minimise the negative impact on Asia's fourth-largest economy. Lee assumed office facing a daunting array of challenges, from a deepening economic slump and intensifying global trade tensions to rising alarm over growing military cooperation between nuclear-armed North Korea and Russia. He inherited a nation deeply fractured by the political crisis triggered by his predecessor, Yoon Suk Yeol, whose attempted imposition of martial law in December sent shockwaves through South Korean democracy.
