For years, TVB actors have been known for grinding it out on long shoots, modest pay, and slow career climbs. But lately, a very different storyline has been grabbing attention — male stars marrying into serious wealth and instantly becoming the talk of the entertainment scene. From old-school names to rising faces, the label “billionaire prince consort” has made its way from gossip columns straight into everyday fan chatter.
The term isn’t new. Veterans like Carlo Ng Ka Lok and Benjamin Yuen have long been mentioned by media watchers as classic examples of actors whose marriages connected them to powerful business families.
But what’s changed is the scale, speed, and visibility. The newer generation isn’t just quietly settling down — their relationships, careers, and lifestyles are being dissected online in real time.
Matthew Ho Kwong Pui, now 37, is one of the most talked-about names in this wave. Best known for his role in Let Me Take Your Pulse, Matthew confirmed his engagement last August to PR entrepreneur Sarah Miu.

Sarah’s background quickly became a hot topic, thanks to her UK education, luxury-focused PR firm, and strong entertainment industry connections.
Living in Hong Kong’s prime business district and moving comfortably within elite circles, she’s often described by netizens as “low-key but powerful”. While some online voices focus on her past relationships, others praise the couple for keeping things private and grounded amid the noise.
Then there’s Matthew Ko Kwan Yin, 41, a former Mr Hong Kong whose life took a dramatic turn after announcing his marriage in December 2024.

His wife Christine Wong, a mainland Chinese business figure, is widely known in beauty and wellness circles. With multiple branches, overseas listing success, and explosive market performance, Christine’s business achievements quickly overshadowed Matthew’s acting headlines.
Since welcoming their daughter in 2025 and relocating to Shenzhen, the couple has become a frequent topic in both entertainment and business forums, with fans split between admiration and disbelief at how fast life can change.
Alex Yung, 30, represents a more emotional narrative. Known to drama viewers as trainee solicitor Tony in Speakers of Law, Alex spent years struggling for recognition.

His personal life was once clouded by disapproval and setbacks, making his November marriage to jewellery wholesaler Winnie Fu feel like a full-circle moment.
Online reactions have been surprisingly warm, with many praising his honesty after he openly acknowledged marrying into wealth, while stressing that respect and affection matter more than labels.
Andy Wong Chi Tik, 42, brings a different kind of stability to the list. A familiar face from Come Home Love: Lo and Behold, Andy announced his engagement last May to Nicole, heir to a large-scale beauty manufacturing business.

With reports highlighting the company’s massive production scale and Nicole’s substantial personal assets, the public quickly framed Andy as another “prince consort”. Still, his involvement in the family business and proud moments as a new father have earned him a fair share of support from long-time viewers.
As expected, fan and netizen reactions are all over the place. Some celebrate these actors as proof that love and timing can rewrite life paths.
Others question whether wealth overshadows professional ambition, while a louder crowd pushes back entirely, saying marriage choices shouldn’t define a man’s worth or talent. Interestingly, many younger fans seem less interested in the money and more focused on emotional maturity, mutual respect, and transparency.
What’s clear is that the “billionaire prince consort” label isn’t fading anytime soon. Whether viewed as a joke, a compliment, or an outdated stereotype, it keeps fuelling debate — and clicks.
So what do you think? Is this just another entertainment buzzword, or does it reflect how audiences now judge success in showbiz?
