Barbie Hsu's Estate Distribution Sparks Family Dispute

Disputes continue to surface regarding the estate of the late Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, also known as Da S, who passed away early last year. Recent reports indicate that Hsu may have outlined her intentions for asset distribution in a memo on her mobile phone.

According to Mirror Weekly, Hsu's phone memo allegedly stated that her jewelry and designer bags were to be left to her daughter. The remaining assets were reportedly intended for joint distribution among her husband, Koo Jun-yup, her two children, and the children of her eldest sister. Hsu's family has historically been close, with Hsu known for supporting her relatives.

However, sources claim that Hsu's family has not agreed to follow the distribution plan detailed in the memo. The reason cited is that the content does not meet the legal criteria for a formal will. This has led to ongoing discussions and potential disagreements over the handling of her considerable assets.

Meanwhile, Hsu's mother has reportedly expressed exhaustion over the persistent rumors and concerns about her own living situation. She had previously mentioned the possibility of living with Barbie Hsu, but her younger daughter, Dee Hsu (Xiao S), and Dee's husband, Hsu Yajun, have reportedly stepped in to assist with her subsequent housing arrangements. Dee Hsu has largely refrained from directly addressing the inheritance controversy, instead sharing fond memories of her sister on social media, describing Barbie Hsu's WeChat nickname "BOXER" as a reflection of her strong, never-give-up personality.
