She is reportedly acquiring the property, which has a long driveway, from the children of late kidney doctor Gordon Ku.
Dr Ku, who died in February 2023, founded the Kidney Dialysis Foundation.
Mr Li paid S$26 million for his GCB in 2018, which has a land area of 15,100 square feet and stands adjacent to the property that his wife is purchasing.
The tech billionaire has since redeveloped it into a detached two-storey house, featuring a basement, an attic, and a swimming pool.
Both bungalows are situated within the Gallop Road and Woollerton Park GCB Area.
