Remembering Anna Shay
Anna Shay, a prominent figure known for her role in the Netflix reality series “Bling Empire,” has passed away at the age of 62. The Associated Press reported that Shay died from a stroke, although the exact date of her passing is unclear.
Shay, an heiress and philanthropist, gained fame as a breakout star on “Bling Empire,” a show that showcased the lives of wealthy individuals of Asian descent in Los Angeles. In an interview, Shay revealed that she initially thought she would be working behind the scenes but ended up in front of the camera due to a misunderstanding. Despite her initial shyness, she became a beloved figure on the show and drew comparisons to the popular film “Crazy Rich Asians.”
Born and raised in Japan, Shay was the daughter of American billionaire Edward Shay and his half-Japanese, half-Russian wife, Ai-San. She inherited her father’s fortune after he passed away, having sold their family company, Pacific Architects and Engineers, with her brother.
Shay’s impact on her family and fans was significant, as described by her family in a statement. They emphasized her role as a loving mother, grandmother, and charismatic star, whose lessons on not taking life too seriously and appreciating the finer things will be cherished.
In addition to her television appearances, Shay’s son, Kenny Kemp, also garnered attention for his presence on the show and his extensive collection of expensive bongs.
