Who is Anna Shay?
Anna is a mix of Japanese, Russian, and American ethnicities. The heiress to Pacific Architects and Engineers is the daughter of Edward Shay and Ai-San Shay. Anna and her sibling inherited their father's shares and sold them for a whopping USD 1.2 billion in 2006. That too, apparently, in an all-cash deal.
The star, now 60, admitted in an OpraMag interview to having done nothing except being born into a rich family with a silver spoon. The heiress has been married and divorced four times and is the mother to a 27-year-old son named Kenny Kemp.

She landed 'Bling Empire' in 2021 and instantly became a fan favorite. Speaking to OpraMag, she revealed that she found it "so confusing" when she got the cheques for starring on the show, and then went on to say she thinks the money "belongs to the crew" for putting up with her.
Anna Shay spends her money primarily on real estate and cars. Her Beverly Hills mansion is now on sale for USD 16 million, which is significantly more than the USD 9.4 million that she paid nine years ago when she bought it.
