That's cheaper than the published DONE4 or Global Explorer fares ex-HKG, so go for it. Otherwise, several J-class RTW fares are somewhat cheaper if bought in Taipei.

HK$49680 is the published price for a DONE3 ex-HKG. CX obviously miscounted the number of continents!

For a DONE4, Expertflyer shows:

CMB US$5657 + taxes
TPE US$6607 +
MNL US$6688 +
HKG US$7185 +
BKK US$7443 +

Which is a nice thing to have. If possible, it's always handy having two status, ideally *A and OW especially if traveling through SE Asia.
