Benny Chan’s Wife Furious Over Claims He Spent Tens of Millions of Yuan Buying a House for His Ex-Girlfriend
Model Lisa Jiang expressed her anger while recalling how her husband Benny Chan allegedly paid in full for a house for his ex-girlfriend before their marriage.
On the evening of September 13, Lisa Jiang livestreamed about the pressures she has faced as a wife and mother amid financial difficulties and the high cost of raising and educating their children. Sitting beside his wife, Benny Chan told her that she was “never satisfied.”
Lisa Jiang immediately appeared upset and brought up an incident from before their marriage, claiming that Benny Chan had once paid the full purchase price of a house for his former girlfriend, with the property registered solely in the woman’s name. According to Lisa, after they broke up, the woman sold the property and allegedly made a profit of tens of millions of yuan, while Benny Chan reportedly never recovered a single yuan of his original investment.
Lisa Jiang did not stop there and angrily compared that situation with her life after marriage. She said she had given birth to four children one after another and had to carefully calculate their daily living expenses. At times when she did not have much money on hand, she was even reluctant to ask her husband for financial support. “On one side, his ex-girlfriend had a house fully paid for, registered solely in her name, and later sold it for a profit. On the other hand, I am the wife who gave birth to and raised four children, yet I even find it difficult to ask my husband for money,” Benny’s wife said.
When Lisa Jiang mentioned Benny Chan’s former girlfriend, he did not respond to the claim about the house, nor did he deny or explain it. Instead, he quietly tried to stop her, saying that this was a public platform and that they should not drag other people into the discussion. He suggested that matters between the couple should be discussed privately.
Lisa Jiang immediately responded that he was “still defending his ex-girlfriend.” The actor then stood up and tried to calm his wife with a forced smile, leaving a tense atmosphere in the livestream.
The content of the livestream quickly sparked heated discussion online. The person most frequently speculated by netizens was Charmaine Sheh, Benny Chan’s ex-lover. Lisa Jiang has not confirmed the identity of the woman whose house her husband allegedly purchased, while Charmaine Sheh has yet to respond.
Viewers were divided in the comments. Some sided with Lisa Jiang, arguing that the issue was not simply about the value of the house but about feeling valued: the ex-girlfriend allegedly had a house fully paid for in her name, while the actor’s wife feels uncomfortable even asking her husband for money. Others argued that giving a house to someone before marriage and covering household expenses after marriage are two completely different matters.
Some others questioned whether the topic raised by Lisa and Benny was merely a “story used to attract attention,” noting that the couple has frequently livestreamed to sell products in recent years and therefore needs to continually draw viewers to their broadcasts.
Benny Chan, born in 1969, is known for his roles in dramas and films including Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Iceman, Justice Bao, and The Legend of Crazy Monk. His wife, Lisa Jiang, is 16 years younger than him and previously worked as a model. After getting married, Lisa stopped appearing on the fashion runway.
The couple has three daughters and one son. The actor has previously spoken about the difficulties of raising a large family, saying that their children are close in age and require their parents to closely supervise and care for them, from meals and sleep to their finances, which can quickly “disappear.”
