According to the Mothership, Chen was never married and his assets were mostly divided among his relatives. However, his Indonesian helper, Yule also inherited a chunk of his fortune and received S$180,000 which is around RM603,233!

Yule had been taking care of him for over eight years and they already had a father-daughter kind of relationship.

It was reported that Yule had returned to Indonesia last March to start a new life, and had received a “gift” from her employer, but told reporters that she had no idea what to do with the money she had received.

She also said that in the years leading up to his death, Chen had doubled her salary and given her gold and jewelleries as a year-end bonus. 

She has since purchased several plots of land in Indonesia. Yule has also started making pastries and has started an online business, describing herself as “happy and busy.”

Yule also told reporters that Chen used to wake up at 2 AM every day to use the bathroom, and that even a month after the actor’s death, she still got up at that time out of habit adding that her heart still hurts thinking that his kind employer had passed away. 

Aw, this warms our hearts!
