Is artist Minh Nhi as rich as rumored?
Minh Nhi almost never shows off his fame or wealth, but his class in the profession and his spending habits are like legends.

| Minh Nhi is still full of passion for his career despite his age. |
In the eyes of many audiences, Minh Nhi is a comedian with many years of experience in the profession. However, few people know that he is one of the few powerful artists in showbiz. He is ranked alongside top names such as Thanh Loc, Huu Chau, Hong Van... If Viet Huong, Thuy Nga, Hanh Thuy, Trong Hieu, Tiet Cuong, Cao Minh Dat... are famous artists, they have one thing in common: they are all students of teacher Minh Nhi.
It is known that artist Minh Nhi was very rich in the past, and is still occasionally told as an anecdote today. Two former students, Viet Huong and Hanh Thuy, told many stories about teacher Minh Nhi on the Soha page. Accordingly, once upon a time, when Minh Nhi was performing in Europe, Viet Huong and a group of 5 students went to his house to clean. When they opened Minh Nhi's wooden cabinet, the whole group was surprised because inside was a basket full of gold, bracelets, rings and money. Viet Huong and her group of friends each took a bar to play with, and when they were bored, they put it back as before. At that time, Minh Nhi had just bought a small house, but later he changed to a much bigger house.
Minh Nhi also confided about his past with Thanh Nien newspaper. In the 90s, if the price of gold was 4 million VND/tael, he would earn at least 10 million a day, sometimes more than 10 million. At that time, he earned 2 million VND for a comedy, equal to Bao Quoc's salary. His purchasing power at that time was 10 times higher than now, but because he was "snobbish", he didn't bother to buy a house. According to Hanh Thuy, the girls in the class that artist Minh Nhi was in charge of often came to his house to... iron money. If Hanh Thuy was clumsy and never knew how to hold a stack of money in her whole life, Viet Huong was the most loved by teacher Minh Nhi because she was skillful, ironing money flat, arranging new money into new money, old money into old money.
Although he earned a lot, he did not keep much and spent it all. Whatever money he earned, he “burned” at the dance hall, some nights 5 million, some nights tens of millions. So much so that many people called Minh Nhi “the king of the dance hall”. Minh Nhi played in groups and often spent money on this group at the dance hall. But when he had an accident, all the people he had taken care of… disappeared. This is something that he still regrets even now when he talks about it.
During the period of being banned from performing, Minh Nhi had to sell his car and house to survive. It is known that he has a house in the US and often returns to the US because his wife's family still lives there.

| The rare time Minh Nhi "revealed" photos of his house was when he held a housewarming party and invited many artists to join in the fun. |
|
| Accordingly, Minh Nhi bought himself a 400m2 house in Phu Nhuan district, Ho Chi Minh City. |
|
| The living room as well as the whole is decorated in a modern style with the main white color mixed with some gentle pastel colors. |
|
|
| The bedroom is spacious and has a more youthful design. He once said he built a big house with many bedrooms because he wanted to welcome his brother and sister from the countryside to live with him. |
|
| The house also has an elevator for quick and convenient movement. |
|
| Neat kitchen with many modern equipment. |
|
| In the house there is a special room reserved for worship. He worships Buddha, his ancestors and his ancestors here. |
|
| Outside is a spacious and airy space. The male owner of the house arranged tables and chairs so he could sit and enjoy the cool breeze, relax and look out at the street view. |
|
|
| Minh Nhi looks very simple but his wardrobe is as huge as anyone else's. He gave away most of his old clothes that he no longer wears. In the wardrobe, he only keeps a collection of performance costumes or costumes associated with certain memories in his career. |
|
| Shoes, accessories, suitcases… all have separate compartments and are enough for Minh Nhi to use at any time. |
