Kris Wu (also known as Wu Yi Fan) is a former member of EXO who left the group in 2014. He became a famous celebrity in China, releasing solo music and starring in shows such as The Rap of China, Mr. Six and Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back.
He made his hobby for collecting luxury cars publicly known, posting several photos with them.
Recently, his mother was found attempting to sell one of his vehicles online to earn extra cash: the Brabus G800.
Written in the description were words alluding to Kris’ ownership by mentioning his last name “Fan.”

The reason for the secrecy was tied to his criminal background. His name was banned from Chinese online platforms as a result of his case in 2021 where several rape and sexual assault allegations were made against him. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison in November 2022.
The car agency confirmed that the Brabus G800 listing belonged to the rapper’s mother. With modifications, it reportedly cost Kris $ 490,000 USD upfront and it retails for around $ 530,000 USD each today.
