Millionaire at 26 with just one deal
A property agent who went into real estate against the wishes of her family has become an overnight millionaire after selling a penthouse at the Le Nouvel Ardmore for a record $51 million last month.
The deal would have reaped PropNex agent Shirley Seng a commission of about $1.5 million.
Ms Seng, 26, was reluctant to disclose details of the sale at the 43-unit freehold condo but confirmed that the transaction was completed last month after negotiations started in March.
The huge sale price - it is believed to be a record for a local penthouse - was paid by Mr Sun Tongyu, the co-founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba. Mr Sun is a Singapore permanent resident.
