Starting out as an idol group singer, Barbie Hsu has made a positive change in the film industry. The film Meteor Garden helped the star born in 1976 become an A-list actress, with many memorable works on the small screen in Taiwan.
The income of the Taiwanese (Chinese) “idol drama queen” is very admirable even though she stopped acting since 2011.
In addition to her artistic career, Barbie Hsu also invests in and does real estate business. According to Next Apple, Barbie Hsu’s estimated assets in 2024 will be around 75 million USD.
Under Taiwanese law, the deceased’s assets are distributed according to legal provisions or a will.
Some lawyers have explained that in case the Meteor Garden actress does not leave a will, her assets will be divided among her children and current husband according to the provisions of the law.
Sources told Sohu that Barbie Hsu loves her children very much and always wants to bring the best benefits to them. Therefore, for the past 3 years, she has continuously fought and filed lawsuits against her ex-husband, businessman Wang Xiaofei, to ensure the assets for her children.
According to Sina, most of Barbie Hsu’s assets were accumulated before she remarried Koo Jun Yup. Her only asset that arose after the marriage is the villa she lives in with the Korean singer in Taiwan.
In case the actress does not have a prenuptial agreement with her current husband, this villa is likely to belong to Koo Jun Yup.
The Korean male singer was once criticized by Wang Xiaofei (ex-husband of Barbie Hsu) and Chinese netizens for being with Barbie Hsu for money.
When they got married, Koo Jun Yup was just a little-known DJ in Korea, with total assets only 1/8 of his wife’s. However, Barbie Hsu repeatedly spoke up to defend him, affirming that she and her husband were happy and came together because of love.
According to Sohu, Barbie Hsu has prepared a will for a long time. Accordingly, all of her assets will be divided between her biological mother and 2 children, while her new husband Koo Jun Yup (DJ Koo) is likely to be left empty-handed.
Ettoday predicts that the battle for Barbie Hsu’s assets could turn into a long and fierce legal conflict between two men who once loved the short-lived actress.

Before her death, Barbie Hsu was suing Wang Xiaofei for child support after their divorce. Koo Jun Yup may represent Barbie Hsu to continue this lawsuit.
A Taiwanese lawyer said that according to current law, Wang Xiaofei’s ex-husband is considered to be the one who benefits in dividing the property.
After the actress suddenly passed away, the custody of the two children will be given priority to Uong Tieu Phi. Thus, the annual alimony will no longer be paid, and Uong Tieu Phi will also have control over the inheritance of the two children.
Wang Xiaofei once claimed that part of Barbie Hsu’s assets were purchased with his financial contributions during their marriage. These included real estate, bank accounts and joint investments.
Currently, fans are still waiting for official statements from the actress’s family.
Barbie Hsu (born 1976) is a Taiwanese (Chinese) actress and singer known for TV series such as: Meteor Garden, God of War, Summer Bubble…
After marrying Wang Xiaofei, she stopped acting and rarely participated in entertainment activities. Before her death, she was the supporter of her second husband – Koo Jun Yup – to build a career in Taiwan.
On February 2, Barbie Hsu passed away in Japan during a New Year ‘s trip with her family. She was cremated at the request of the hospital in Japan and her ashes were brought back to Taiwan by her family on February 6.
