While you’re still out there manifesting a mini lottery win to afford the downpayment on a flat, Singaporean billionaire Forrest Li’s wife just splashed out a cool $42.5M on her home. She didn’t buy just any home, mind you━the tycoon’s missus purchased one of the most stunning homes on Gallop Road near the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

According to The Business Times, this property is right next door to the $26M good class bungalow (GCB) that her husband, SEA Ltd’s founder and CEO Li, bought in 2018. That property spans 15,100 sqft and is currently being redeveloped with a basement, pool, and attic. Ma Liqian’s latest acquisition, on the other hand, sits on 16,703 sqft of land and features a long driveway that’s fit for royalty.
Ma’s GCB was previously owned by the children of Gordon Ku, a kidney doctor who founded the Kidney Dialysis Foundation.

What you need to know about the couple’s new pads, other than the fact that they’re worth a fortune, is that they both sit in a gazetted GCB area. In Singapore, there are 39 of these prestigious neighbourhoods, with roughly 2,700 bungalows. Other rich and famous personalities who reside on Gallop Road include the Hai Di Lao family, in their 2 multi-million-dollar mansions.
