The looks, the fame, the wealth – some people seem to have it all. Then they go on to meet a partner who’s just as good-looking, just as famous, and just as wealthy. Talk about #relationshipgoals.

This couple has been plagued by split rumours over the last couple of years, but there’s no denying that if they’re still together, the pair is one of China’s highest-earning couples. Angelababy reportedly has a net worth of US$50 million (S$68 million), while Huang has a net worth of US$80 million.

The couple tied the knot in 2015 with a lavish wedding ceremony that cost a staggering US$31 million. It took place at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre, and Angelababy wore a US$1.6 million Chaumet wedding band and a custom-designed Dior gown.

The pair then moved in to a US$15.4 million villa in Qingdao, which is said to resemble an old European castle.

The multi-hyphenates also have their own fragrance line – Maroon by Scha and Bleu by Awal – as well as a multi-label boutique, Garderobe.

Their eldest daughter Lara is a super-influencer in her own right, with 4.1 million followers on Instagram at the tender age of seven.
