DJ Koo Inherits Barbie Hsu's Estate

Taiwanese media reported that all the assets left behind by the deceased Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu will be divided among her husband, DJ Koo, and their two children. Koo Chien-yu, better known as DJ Koo, was confirmed as one of the heirs to a multi-million dollar estate of the star of the series "Meteor Garden," although he initially rejected claiming the inheritance. The total estimated value of the property, valued at approximately 600 million yuan (4.7 billion PHP), will be split between DJ Koo, Barbie's 10-year-old daughter, and 8-year-old son. However, since the children are still minors, their inheritance will be managed until they reach maturity by their biological father, Van Xiaofei. According to information from Mirror Media, Barbie is believed to have received 19 million dollars in the division of property with her ex-husband, Wan Xiaofei.

At the same time, the Sohu portal reported that Xiaofei also left his children a villa with an area of 720 square meters. On February 6, 2025, Koo will first officially address questions related to the assets of his late wife, revealing the existence of a marital agreement aimed at protecting their personal assets in case of divorce. However, it is reported that their marital agreement was not notarized, which could make it legally invalid in court. This was Koo's first public statement after Barbie's passing on February 2 at the age of 48. In his Instagram post, written in Chinese and Korean, DJ expressed disappointment over financial disputes, referring to them as attacks on his family and addressing Barbie by name as So Hee Wong.
