I was reading about housing in HKG. It is VERY, VERY expensive. An expat wife wanted a 3 BR, 2 bath home in a nice location, with a pool. She was able to rent what she desired.
Her housing allowance was $60,000 USD per MONTH.

The highest housing allowance category for HKG listed on that website was $100,000-$300,000 USD per month...
