His father, Wong Chung Tung, is the son of Wong Wah Cheung, founder and chairman of Wong's Kong King, and the family has assets exceeding HK$3 billion. Actor Kevin Cheng is his cousin (his grandfather Wong Wah Cheung and Kevin Cheng’s maternal grandmother were siblings; Kevin’s mother is the cousin of Vinci’s father). Actress Anne Heung is his maternal aunt (mother Wu Lai Ming’s cousin). His sister Cheung Wong Yin Wai's husband, Cheung Sui San, is related to singer-actress Natalie Tong and supermodel Kathy Chow.

Entertainment Career
