Jay Chou reportedly buys $15 million Taipei luxury apartment registered to wife Hannah Quinlivan

Taiwanese Mandopop king Jay Chou has reportedly purchased a lavish apartment in Taipei's prestigious Dunhua North Road area for NT$484.95 million (approximately $15.5 million USD).

The property, spanning nearly 300 ping (about 10,800 square feet), is registered under the name of his wife, Hannah Quinlivan, whose birth name is Hannah Wu. This revelation clarifies earlier media reports from last year that suggested Chou had bought four floors in the same building, "Puyong Dunyang," for up to NT$3 billion.

It caused extremely serious outcomes and dealt a major shock and fear to the society. The victims whose lives were taken away must have felt unimaginable pain and fear, and those who suffered injuries … were forced to live with long-term effects.

Real estate transaction data indicates the two units on the fourth floor were purchased off-plan in November 2021. The price per ping averaged NT$1.91 million. Despite some cultural superstitions surrounding the number four, real estate experts note the fourth floor offers prime views of the tree-lined avenue. The location, building brand, and exclusive nature of the units are considered highly attractive to high-net-worth individuals.

Chou and Quinlivan have been married for 11 years and have three children. The significant property acquisition, fully registered under Quinlivan's name, highlights Chou's considerable wealth and his affectionate gesture towards his wife.
