SECRETLAB CO-FOUNDER IAN ANG SPENDS S$51M ON TWO PROPERTIES IN SINGAPORE

To say that 2021 was the year of Good Class Bungalows (GCBs) would clearly be an understatement. It appeared as though tycoons in Singapore were snapping up GCBs left, right and centre. TikTok CEO Chew Shou Zi purchased a GCB in Queen Astrid Park for S$86 million, while Chloe Tong, wife of Grab CEO Anthony Tan, purchased a GCB in Bin Tong Park for S$40 million.

At the tender age of 28, Secretlab founder Ian Ang also made the news for snapping up two luxury properties, the first being a penthouse at Leedon Residence for S$15 million and the second, a double-storey GCB on Caldecott Hill for S$36 million. In total, the youthful gaming chair tycoon parted ways with S$51 million for the two properties.

A 5-BEDROOM SINGAPORE PENTHOUSE SOLD FOR S$14.83M
