Vivien Chen took over her father’s role as chairperson of Hong Kong’s Nan Fung Group, a real estate giant. She took over the family business in 2009, after her father, Nan Fung founder Chen Din Hua was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, her mother, Yang Foo-oi brought her to court in 2010 disputing a 2004 agreement that called for Vivien, her sister Angela, and Yang to each receive a third of particular assets. They disagreed on what should be included among those assets and their valuation. A court finally settled the lengthy lawsuit in favor of Yang and ordered Vivien to pay over $1 billion. She stepped down from the chairperson post in 2016. Money can bring out the worst in people at times.
