Comedian Hoang Map at age 52: Billion-dollar property, happy marriage with discreet wife

Don't want to show off assets

Hoang Map just released a TV seriesCrosswindproduced and starred by him. The film tells the story of the simple life of the people in the countryside of Dong Thap. Borrowing the image of hard-working villagers, the work praises true love, and at the same time condemns greedy, lazy people who want to enjoy life.

The project brings together a cast of talented actors Huy Khanh, Ngoc Lan, Thanh Hien and a group of young faces. Hoang Map invested in filming in many provinces and cities such as Binh Duong, Long An, Ho Chi Minh City... and even Singapore.

Hoang Map has invested a lot of money and effort in making films during difficult economic times. The male artist admits that the television industry makes very little profit, mostly losses. However, he has persisted in doing so for many years because he wants to create a playground for actors in the context of popular web-dramas and online platforms.

For him, making films is a passion to continue his artistic path in a new direction. On the other hand, Hoang Map wants to make an effort to promote his daughter - young actress Khanh Trinh. In the projects he produces, Khanh Trinh plays the main role alongside famous names like Viet Huong, Ngoc Lan, Nguyet Anh... This has caused some controversy, making many people think that the artist is favoring his child too much.

Hoang Map is not afraid to admit this. In his role as a father, he accepts all praise, criticism, and gossip because he wants his daughter's path to be as smooth as possible.

“I spend money to promote others, so why can’t I promote my own child? I want to create momentum for my child’s development, so that later he won’t be surprised or unfamiliar when he goes out to develop. My child is now strong, so I hope he will soon achieve career success,” said Hoang Map.

Hoang Map frankly said that his family's economy is stable so he doesn't worry about running out of money when making movies. Every year, he shoots 2-3 movies and always budgets several billion VND for each project.

Faced with the news that Hoang Map is rich with a 1,600m2 mansion, a 5 billion koi fish pond, a series of real estates, a collection of gems, antiques... he smiled and refused to respond. According to the male artist, the achievements he has now are all accumulated from sweat and tears over nearly his entire life.

Hoang Map believes that although he is not a sought-after A-list star, he is confident that his current achievements are enough to make him proud. Besides art, the artist does business in many fields that only he and a few relatives know about.

“I didn’t speak up or confirm because I didn’t think it was necessary. Assets are private matters, and I don’t want to show them off. Rich or poor, we still have three meals a day. The important thing is that our family is happy, and that our husband, wife, and children are in harmony, that’s a great blessing,” he said.

Success thanks to wife

At the age of 52, Hoang Map is busy with his artistic and business work. The male artist also surprised many people when he registered for a master's degree. He is happy because at this age, he still experiences feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and fear of failing an exam.

Previously, due to lack of conditions, after graduating from the School of Dramatic Arts II, he was busy performing to earn a living. Later, when everything was stable, Hoang Map wanted to continue studying to fulfill his youthful dream of having a prestigious degree like many people.

Sometimes Hoang Map receives questions from friends"Why study now?"He said he studied for himself, not necessarily to become this or that. The male artist wanted to be an example for his two daughters, wanting to look at his father to constantly strive in life.

According to Hoang Map, his achievements today are largely thanks to his wife. The male artist and his wife, Thuy Dung, have been together for 25 years.

After a long time living together, the couple understood each other so well that life went by smoothly. They did not quarrel or argue, their home was built on respect and tolerance.

The artist's wife believes that whether the family is happy or not is something she knows herself and should not share on social media. Knowing that his wife is reserved and does not like to show off, Hoang Map limits taking his wife to events or posting photos on social media.

Hoang Map joked that his wife got 9 points and he only got 1 point. Whenever he wanted to do something, he had to ask his wife because she was a person who knew how to save money, was not stingy, and knew how to manage a household.

“If I compliment her too much, you will say I am flattering her, but the truth is that she takes care of everything in the lives of the father and children. All the housework is taken care of by her. Thanks to a strong support system, I can work with peace of mind and do not have to worry about being irresponsible with my family,” he said.

For many years, Hoang Map weighed over 150kg. His fat and obese appearance led to many diseases such as heart disease, high cholesterol, etc., forcing the male artist to take medicine every day.

After a serious accident a few years ago, he consciously changed himself to stay healthy. The male artist said he has been on a weight loss regimen for the past few months and is now down to 19kg. He aims to lose a few more kilos in the new year.

The male artist always keeps an optimistic and cheerful spirit even though his work is sometimes stressful and pressured. Thanks to that, his illness has also subsided and his life has become more comfortable.

“I always try to be optimistic, otherwise I would have died a long time ago. My life has had many tragedies, so after every incident, I tell myself to try to live. Being gloomy and depressed all the time does not make you better. I know what to seek and what to let go of to have peace of mind,” he shared.
