Administrator chosen for tycoon's billions

HONG KONG: A Hong Kong judge appointed an administrator yesterday to oversee the multi-billion dollar estate of the late Hong Kong tycoon Nina Wang during what could be a long court battle between Wang's feng shui master and her family.

Wang, 69, who died in April, was Asia's richest woman with a fortune estimated at between $4 billion and $12 billion.

Known for her signature pigtails and nicknamed "Little Sweetie", Wang won control of her late husband's business empire in 2005 in a court case against her father-in-law.
