Here’s a tip for all you fortune tellers that use your powers of persuasion to convince gullible clients to leave money to you in their wills. Don’t get greedy and have them leave everything to you. Tell them to leave you 10% or so, to avoid suspicion.

Asia’s richest woman, Nina Wang, died earlier this month at the age of 69 and left her entire multi-billion dollar fortune to her fortune teller, Chan Chun Chuen. Smell fishy to you? It does to me. Then again, we are talking about Asia and everything smells fishy over there, so maybe I should ask if this smells fishier than usual to you.

Allegedly, Ms. Wang wrote two wills, the most recent in 2006. Unfortunately, for the fortune teller, the second will was written after Wang began treatment for cancer and now her two sisters, a brother, and assorted in-laws, are contesting the will on the basis that she was under the influence of medication at the time. Not to mention the influence of her fortune teller, who should have seen that coming.

Wang’s earlier will, written in 2002, left her entire fortune to a charitable trust, so even though I doubt her fortune teller deserves the money, it seems quite obvious that she didn’t exactly have a soft spot in her heart for her siblings.

Ms. Wang inherited her billions when her husband, who had been kidnapped in 1990, was declared dead 9 years later. His body was never found. hmmmmmm

Here’s something I bet her fortune teller didn’t see coming. We all know that everything you read in a fortune cookie is true, and this is the message I found in my fortune cookie after I’d finished a nice meal at Wang’s Nappi Hos with my wife last night, in honor of my dear departed friend, Nina. I’ll be flying to Hong Kong later this afternoon to claim what is mine. Thanks Nina, I’ll miss you.
