  • Thanks to the success of Bling Empire, Netflix’s hit reality show will get its first spin-off series in New York City, led by the uber-wealthy Dorothy Wang and 6 others
  • Jewellery designer Lynn Ban worked with Taylor Swift, Kate Moss, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Madonna, while Deborah Hung counts David Beckham and Salma Hayek as pals

When the fabulous Dorothy Wang showed up in season two of Netflix’s Bling Empire, we knew we were in for a treat.

Riding on that excitement months later, Netflix has since unveiled its first official Bling spin-off that will feature the uber-wealthy Asian-Americans in New York City – with Wang leading the pack as she adjusts to her new life from sunny LA.

Bling Empire: New York will have seven official cast members. As seen in the trailer, it promises to offer the same glitz and glamour as its OG series with plenty of drama, of course, as Wang says, “In New York, anything can happen.”

As we wait for Netflix to announce the official release date, let’s get to know the new cast members, from what they do to their estimated net worths …

Hong Kong business tycoon Stephen Hung and his wife Deborah are joining Wang in the Big Apple. He made much of his jaw-dropping US$400 million fortune through investment banking and real estate, per Celebrity Net Worth.

In 1992, he launched his own private investment firm called SH Capital Group and he is also the vice-chairman of Rio Hotel & Casino in Macau, per his LinkedIn page. His parents have also made billions from real estate deals.

However, Hung suffered major losses when his ambitious hotel project called The 13 failed due to constant delays and overblown budgets.

If his US$1.4 billion project were to come true today, the luxurious hotel in Macau would have 200 large suites (of up to 30,000 sq ft), 24-hour butler services for every room, a fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms and accommodation costing about US$100,000 per night, according to reports. Hung departed from the project in 2018.
