Coming from an ordinary background, not possessing a beauty that everyone admires, Ly Nha Ky is still one of the richest in showbiz. |
Ly Nha Ky has acted in movies, commercials, and plays, but most of her artistic activities have not left a strong impression on the public. This actress has attracted more attention from her business and social activities.
In 2008, Ly Nha Ky became the ambassador of a cosmetics company in a fundraising program to help women around the world who are suffering from abuse and domestic violence. In June 2009, Ly Nha Ky continued to accept the invitation to be the ambassador of Operation Smile, a non-governmental organization that provides free medical services and surgeries for children with cleft lip and palate. In 2011, the actress was appointed by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as the Tourism Ambassador of Vietnam. At this time, her reputation was widely known to audiences nationwide.
Thanks to her tireless social activities, Ly Nha Ky gradually gained special relationships with the upper class and politicians. Each such relationship brought the beauty great benefits.
The first adoptive mother that Ly Nha Ky announced in 2009 was Ms. Alice Chiu, president of Henyep Group and also president of Sheen Hok International Charity Foundation. Not long after that, Ly Nha Ky was officially elected as vice president of this foundation. Her second adoptive mother is Ms. Madame Wong - president of the famous Hong Kong diamond group E. Therefore, Ly Nha Ky naturally became the brand owner and representative face of this brand in Vietnam.
Ly Nha Ky also has two adopted brothers, billionaire Soofeen Hu - the 'king of jade' of China, founder of the Museum of Jade Art. The second brother is Mr. Chavit Singson - a famous billionaire, businessman, and politician in the Philippines. Not to mention, Ly Nha Ky is also sworn sister with "Hong Kong entertainment mogul" Lok Di Ling, a senior leader and manager of more than 700 artists of TVB.
The above relationships are said to be especially close to Ly Nha Ky. Because in addition, she also has relationships with countless other powerful figures in many fields around the world.
In business, Ly Nha Ky is fondly called the 'diamond entrepreneur'. In addition, she also owns a fashion store located on Dong Khoi Street - one of the most expensive shopping areas in Ho Chi Minh City. To build her fashion brand, Ly Nha Ky has never hesitated to spend billions on clothes and jewelry. Every time she appears, she attracts a lot of attention, regardless of whether it is a domestic or international event. It is not an exaggeration to say that Ly Nha Ky's 'playing' with luxury goods has no rival in Vietnamese showbiz.
In contrast to the luxurious outfits she usually wears, when at home or doing charity work, Ly Nha Ky always goes bare-faced. She is considered one of the most diligent and effective artists in charity work.
Up to now, Ly Nha Ky has erased the bad images or scandals she had in the past. Few audiences still remember that Ly Nha Ky was once called "the braggart". Public opinion still constantly questions her wealth. However, Ly Nha Ky rarely explains. She quietly proves her wealth through the most luxurious life and classy appearances.
