Lee Family Wealth Under Scrutiny | Sydney News

A billionaire businessman in Australia, Phillip Dong Fang Lee, is under fire for allegedly moving billions through casinos and spending $40 million on a mansion — all while claiming his wealth came from loans from his 92-year-old mother. The Australian Tax Office disputes this, calling the arrangements “sham” to hide offshore income and accusing him of secretly controlling Chinese businesses he claims to have sold. His family’s past adds intrigue: his father-in-law, a corrupt Chinese official, may have favored Lee’s firm, costing the state billions. Meanwhile, Lee’s son, Felix, hosted a PM fundraiser at their home and insists the family fortune stems from China’s infrastructure boom — while the government holds onto their property empire until a $280 million debt is paid.
