Bling Empire: Where To Follow All The Cast On Instagram
Netflix's new docuseries Bling Empire has been a mega-hit since it dropped on January 15. The show, which follows some of L.A.'s wealthiest Asian-Americans and Asians, has no shortage of memorable cast members who aren't afraid to stand out. These reality stars do have an online presence.
Christine Chiu, also known as the "couture queen of L.A.," has an affinity for all things fashion. Together with her husband Dr. Gabriel Chiu, she runs a luxury med spa in the city, which is called Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery. Her christine_chiu88 Instagram is wall-to-wall glamour, with plenty of adorable shots of her son, "Baby G." Gabriel's @drchiubhps account is a little less fun, with lots of professional posts relating to their clinic. Here's a screengrab of a particularly cute shot of Christine and "Baby G" out on the beach in Malibu:
In constant competition for the crown with Christine is socialite and heiress Anna Shay, who acts as a sort of Bling Empire mama bear (a fierce one at times!) to the rest of the cast. Before joining the cast, she was known for being extremely private. Anna's father founded Pacific Architects & Engineers and was a bona fide billionaire. One of her best friends, a Frenchman named Florent, is heavily featured on her @annashay93 grid.
Kelly Mi Li is an accomplished entrepreneur and producer who was actually behind the initial conception and pitching of Bling Empire. After seeing the success of Crazy Rich Asians, Kelly shared her idea for the show with her close friend and eventual fellow castmate, Kane Lim. She regularly posts pet content on her @kellymili Instagram, which never gets old:
The aforementioned Kane Lim is a Singaporean real estate businessman and shoe fanatic who has called Los Angeles home for eight years now. He was a big travel junkie in pre-pandemic times, but these days, he still keeps his @kanelk_k Instagram posts fresh with a seemingly endless supply of stylish looks. See him below with his great wall of shoes:
Kevin Kreider is the only cast member that's not swimming in money. Kevin was adopted from Korea as a baby and raised by Caucasian parents. When he moved to L.A. from Philadelphia to pursue a career in modeling, he met and befriended Kane, who made him a part of the inner circle. Kevin's abs are without a doubt the most prominent feature on his @kevin.kreider Instagram:
Kim Lee is a musician and DJ who is hugely popular in South Asia and beyond. She wasn't initially in the group of friends Kane was recruiting from while putting together the cast. When Kim slid into Kane's DMs from her @kimlee Instagram, he knew immediately that she'd be a great addition. Check out Kim at work in the studio below:
Cherie Chan is an heiress to a denim empire that clearly keeps her plenty comfortable. Though she's not featured a lot in the Bling Empire season 1, she is close friends with Kane and other members of the cast. Cherie and her boyfriend Jessey have two children together. She's an unabashed user of filters on her @cherieofficial Instagram.
Tune into Bling Empire on Netflix to learn more about the dynamic, fun, and super-rich cast members.
