Abby Choi got share of ex-husband’s luxury watch profits, murder trial told

Abby Choi Tin-fung, a Hong Kong socialite, received a share of the profits her ex-husband Alex Kwong made from selling luxury watches, as revealed during her murder trial. Chan Leong-hang, an employee of Aristo Watch & Jewellery, testified that Kwong sold high-end timepieces to the shop and requested that a portion of the profits be transferred to Choi through a bank transfer.

The company transferred HK$6 million to Choi's account after Kwong sold a watch in October 2021. Chan also remembered Kwong selling a Richard Mille watch worth HK$10.5 million and asking for a share of the profit to go to his former partner. Kwong, along with his father and brother, are on trial for allegedly murdering the 28-year-old influencer in February 2023, after a family dispute over the sale of a HK$72 million flat in Ho Man Tin. Choi's father alleges that the Kwong family was living off her wealth before her daughter's murder.
