The drama hasn’t ended with Barbie Hsu’s tragic passing – not by a long shot. Ever since the beloved Taiwanese actress, affectionately known as “Big S,” passed away unexpectedly, her legacy has been wrapped in as much speculation as it is grief.
And now?
Her inheritance – particularly her jewellery – is right back in the headlines, stirring the pot all over again.
 |
To rewind a bit: when Big S passed, most expected things to proceed by the book.
According to local inheritance laws, her husband, DJ Koo Jun-yup, and their two children were named the legal heirs.
 |
As the children are still underage, Koo has been managing their shares – a detail that already raised a few eyebrows.
While the inheritance was reportedly split three ways, with each receiving a third, rumours have continued to swirl, especially around her glamorous Taipei mansion – a luxury property that’s become something of a hot potato.
 |
With over a million Taiwan dollars in monthly mortgage payments and lingering debt, nobody’s exactly queuing up to take it over.
And now, it’s the jewellery – the “soft assets,” as they say – that’s caused a new stir.
 |
Social media’s been ablaze with whispers that some of Big S’s jewellery has mysteriously turned up in a foreign auction house.
Internet sleuths were quick to question: who put it there? Was this an attempt to cash in under the radar?
Some even accused her own family of “helping themselves” to the valuables – sparking serious accusations of betrayal.
Needless to say, her family didn’t take the rumours lightly.
Both Big S’s mum and younger sister, Dee Hsu (aka Little S), have come out swinging.
S-Mum firmly denied the gossip, saying she’d never even seen the jewellery in question, let alone sold it.
"Complete nonsense,” she snapped, clearly shaken.

Dee Hsu backed her up, calling the auction claims total fiction and expressing her fury at how quickly the public turned suspicious.
And who’s stayed eerily quiet through all this? DJ Koo.
While he’s been seen quietly paying tribute to his late wife during the recent Qingming Festival – reportedly visiting her alone, which many fans found touching – he’s yet to comment on the jewellery saga.
Some reckon he’s choosing to stay out of the mess, not wanting to fan the flames.
Others think the silence is a bit too convenient. Regardless, it’s clear this inheritance drama isn’t over yet.
The late actress’s jewellery, property, and legacy all remain hot topics online.
Some netizens are even calling for a full, transparent list of Big S’s assets – especially given her children’s future is at stake.
With their welfare in mind, the public’s appetite for answers remains insatiable.
No matter how the dust settles, one thing’s clear: this isn’t just a tabloid moment.
It’s about a woman whose life, death, and family are still under a microscope – and whose story continues to unfold long after her final curtain call.
Have thoughts about the auction rumours? You’re not alone – the comment threads are already wild.
