Vicki Zhao’s Singapore Dream Home
Buying Big in the Lion City
Vicki Zhao—yes, that Chinese actress who’s lighting it up on the silver screen—has been laying down some serious roots in Singapore. The secret sauce? A hefty $27.65 million penthouse at Ardmore Park, snagged by her husband, the 43‑year‑old business mogul Huang Youlong.
- Huang, a Singapore PR himself, traded the property as a trustee.
- The little one in the family, their daughter born back in 2010, is the actual beneficiary of this shiny real‑estate treasure.
- He paid the full price to Kishin RK, the top boss of RB Capital’s acquisition arm.
- That sweet deal was sweetened in April 2017—Kishin hand‑tossed the option, and Huang kicked it in last month.
- Jacqueline Wong of Savills Singapore remembers the price: $3,164 per square foot in 2017—pretty pricey at that time.
- Today, though, anything under S$3,200 psf is spotted as a bargain for a freehold penthouse in District 10. Guess the market’s doing a tidy job of bringing prices down since the pandemic.
The Penthouse Perk
Picture this: a 29th‑ and 30th‑floor slab, one of just six high‑rise gems in Ardmore Park’s three‑block development. It’s a sky‑high slice of luxury that comes with a complimentary, crown‑level view of the city.
Huang’s Other House
But that wasn’t all—Huang also owns a separate, four‑bedroom unit in a different block of Ardmore Park. Looks like he’s collecting all the good spots in town!
So, if you ever see a purring figure walking past a glassy skyscraper, it might just be Vicki’s family, flaunting their new Singapore stopover.

Vicki and the Grand Vineyard Adventure
Back in 2011, Vicki and her partner Huang swapped their daily hustle for a life of vineyards, scooping up the spotlight‑worthy Château Monlot in the famed St‑Emilion Grand Cru district of Bordeaux. For a whopping four‑million‑euro splash (about S$6.05 million), they claimed a seven‑hectare slice of wine‑making fame.
The Big Sale—Singapore Edition
Last September, the storage of this prized Bordeaux made a debut in Singapore, thanks to a friendly nudge from local actor Li Nanxing. “If it’s good enough to pour at a movie set, let’s give the locals a taste,” Vicki mused when she spoke to the press.
“I’m Not The ‘Wine Hero’”
- Vicki keeps her approach low‑key, admitting she’s never Cracked the “sell hard” code.
- Her spreads have touched the globe, but on‑sale isn’t her game plan.
- She’s famously honest: “Not everyone needs to sip my vino, but at least it’s out here.”
Behind the Scenes With Li Nanxing
Turn back to when Vicki was just a girl—she can’t help but boast that “Ah Ge” Li Nanxing’s unstoppable charm left her swooned. That youthful romance sure adds sweet flavour to her story.
Quick Takeaway
When Vicki stepped into the world of vineyards, the dream was simple: a classy property, a handful of bottles, and a laugh. She bought in, brewed in, and now, with a touch of celebrity winks, serves the world a glass of Bordeaux wistfully waiting for those who love a good story.
