Hong Kong’s high court ruled in favour of the charitable foundation representing Chinese tycoon Nina Wang’s family on Tuesday.
The long-awaited ruling rejects the claim of feng-shui master Tony Chan to Wang’s fortune, estimated at least $4.2 billion.
Wang, who died in April 2007 aged 69, was one of Asia’s wealthiest women whose business empire included the Chinachem Group, the city’s largest private property developer.
The existence of two conflicting wills, however, pitted Tony Chan, her former lover, against her family represented by the Chinachem Charitable Foundation in a probate battle that began in May.
“The court does not believe the relationship was such that Nina was prepared to give her entire estate irrespective of her other commitments and responsibilities,” the court said in a summary of the judgement given to media.
The Foundation’s lawyers said earlier there was “very strong evidence” that Wang’s signature on the 2006 will as she lay dying of ovarian cancer was a forgery. Instead it lays claim to a 2002 will in which Wang left most of her wealth to charitable causes.
