Olympic fencing champion Edgar Cheung reportedly buys $16 million home in Pak Shek Kok

Hong Kong Olympic gold medalist fencer Edgar Cheung Ka-long has reportedly purchased a flat at St Martin in Pak Shek Kok for over HK$16 million. 

The unit at the first phase of the project developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) was sold by tender on July 15 for HK$16.12 million, or HK$17,300 per square foot. The 932-sq-ft unit has three bedrooms and a utility room. 

The buyer registered the purchase under the name Cheung Ka-long, identical in both Chinese and English to Hong Kong’s ‘Fencing God,’ local media reported, citing Land Registry records.

Cheung, the two-time Olympic medalist who has earned at least HK$16.5 million in prize money from the games, is able to go all in with a cash buy for the new home.
