If you've been watching new TVB drama From Hong Kong to Beijing, you would have noticed a really familiar face from the past.  

We're talking about '90s Hong Kong heartthrob Marco Lo, who was one of TVB's most favoured actors back in the day.

The now 55-year-old star is best known for his role as Tang Li Sheng in 1995 TVB long-form drama A Kindred Spirit, winning the hearts of many with his good looks and gentlemanly demeanour at that time. 

His career in showbiz was short-lived though. In 2001, he quit acting to start a real estate business in China. 

Since then, Marco has remained under the radar, only making the occasional guest appearances on TV "for fun". 

In fact, he's been so hush-hush about his life that it was only recently that people found out that he had given up on his real estate biz to sell home appliances.

In a new video shared on his Xiao Hong Shu, Marco could be seen taking his clients on a tour of his factory. He also revealed that his company had developed a new "organic sea cucumber", alluding that he's venturing into the seafood industry as well.

According to Hong Kong media hk01, the actor has a net worth of more than HK$100mil (S$17.4mil).

Looks like he made the right choice to switch careers two decades ago?
