The fan favourite died from a stroke at the age of 62.
For fans of the Netflix reality show Bling Empire, the late Anna Shay was a breath of fresh air. The socialite brought a touch of class and poise to the series which followed the lives of wealthy Asian Americans living in Los Angeles. Her family announced on Monday thatShay was known for dispensing motherly advice to cast members she liked, such as producer Kelly Mi Li, while bringing forth silent fury to those who opposed her.
As her Bling Empire co-star Kane Lim described it on the show once: "Her money comes from weapons. Her father sells bombs, guns, defence technology. And it’s worth like a few billion." Shay trained with the military and knew how to pilot a helicopter. She even wanted to join the family business but was stopped by her father. In 2006, she and her brother Allen sold the company to Lockheed Martin for about US$1.2 billion . Yet, Shay chose to keep certain things about her life private, including the identities of her four ex-husbands.
Despite her wealth, Shay was famous for her generosity. Lim revealed that whenever they went into a luxury store, she would buy something and then buy the same thing for the salesperson. As she once told model Kevin Kreider on Bling Empire: “Don’t be impressed by things. I don’t get impressed by things, but by people and who they are.”
It was this duality that made her well-loved by her friends and cast members. Following the announcement of her death due to stroke, tributes started pouring in on various social media platforms.One of Shay's closest friends on Bling Empire, Kelly Mi Li wrote:"You were truly one of a kind and we will miss you forever."Posting a carousel of himself with Shay, Kane Lim commended her for"nonchalance that was mesmerising".
