Exclusive | Late Hong Kong pop diva Coco Lee’s husband Bruce Rockowitz ‘paid HK$8 million to rent penthouse for singer’
- Lee moved into one of two penthouses of Four Seasons Place in October last year, according to two different sources
- Penthouse on top floor of International Finance Centre in Central has monthly rent of HK$800,000
Bruce Rockowitz, the husband of late Hong Kong pop diva Coco Lee, paid at least HK$8 million (US$1 million) to rent a penthouse at a serviced apartment building after she moved out of their home, an insider told the Post on Friday.
Lee, who died on July 5 three days after a suicide attempt, moved into one of the two penthouses of Four Seasons Place in October last year and stayed there until early July, two sources told the Post.
The home is located on the top floor of the International Finance Centre in Central and has a roof terrace, a heated swimming pool and barbecue facilities.
Lee moved out of the couple’s home in Southern district and checked into the penthouse in October last year.
One insider said the penthouse had a monthly rent of HK$800,000, which Rockowitz was still paying.
“There are rumours claiming that Rockowitz was living on [Lee’s] money, which is not true at all. He has never spent any of her money,” the insider said.
Rockowitz and Lee were married in a high-profile ceremony in 2011, attended by celebrities from the city and abroad. The couple did not have any children together.
