  "account": "Hong Kong actor Julian Cheung, 55, has reportedly amassed enough wealth to support not just himself, but also the next two generations, according to his uncle Charlie Cho. Cho shared this news, explaining that Julian has taken a step back from acting due to feeling burnt out in the industry. He advised his nephew that if he had enough money to last three generations, he could afford to be more selective about his projects. Julian confirmed that he had reached this target and now only accepts roles he is genuinely interested in.\n\nJulian Cheung is married to 55-year-old actress Anita Yuen, and together they are considered one of Hong Kong's most successful power couples. Their fortune extends beyond their entertainment careers, as they have acquired a collection of prime residential and commercial properties, fine art, and Anita's valuable Hermès handbag collection. This financial success has also allowed them to support their 19-year-old son, Morton, who is currently studying acoustic guitar in New York under a private mentor, with his parents funding his artistic ambitions.",
