11th October 2024 – (Guangzhou) Guo Jingjing and Kenneth Fok, prominent figures in Hong Kong’s elite society, have welcomed three children since their marriage. Despite their affluent status, the couple is renowned for their frugal and understated lifestyle, earning them the moniker “the affluent oasis.” In keeping with this low-key approach, Timothy Fok, the 78-year-old patriarch of the Fok family, was recently spotted by a netizen at an antique market in Guangzhou’s Xiguan district.
The encounter was shared online, with the observer noting, “Spotted in Xiguan – Chairman Fok truly doesn’t like to bring bodyguards while shopping.” This candid moment highlights the Fok family’s preference for simplicity over extravagance.
Timothy Fok, who is also the Vice Chairman of the Asian Olympic Council, was seen dressed in a plain black outfit, carrying a simple shoulder bag and without any security detail. He was browsing at the famous “Tianguang Market,” a local street market known for its eclectic array of vintage furniture, ceramics, antiques, and artwork, which opens in the evening and closes at dawn.
This surprising sighting has elicited a wave of comments from internet users, many of whom expressed their amazement that a billionaire like Fok would frequent such a humble market. One user remarked, “I never expected such a powerful figure would be shopping at a street market,” while another quipped about the contrast between his substantial wealth and his choice of shopping venue.
