The hit Netflix reality TV show Bling Empire has fans invested in the lives of extremely rich Los Angeles socialites, and fans are noticing similarities between Anna Shay and Christine Chiu. Anna, the richest among the cast, is rumored to have hundreds of millions of dollars, and she is a fan favorite thanks to her attitude, charm, and upscale glamour. Christine, the wife of a well-known Los Angeles plastic surgeon, is believed to be the second-richest among the cast, and also has fans wanting to see more of her.
The reality stars have had drama in both Bling Empire seasons, and some viewers do consider them opposites. The dynamic between the two frequently shifts, and conflict isn't unheard of. However, Anna and Christine have even had dinners together outside of filming, and do consider themselves to be friends. Anna believes Christine is constantly trying to compete with her in terms of wealth, and thinks that she is trying too hard to be someone she is not. Despite wanting to be her friend, Christine is always making comments about Anna's age, and thinks Anna is rude to her.
Despite the drama, Anna and Christine are more alike than they are different, as they come from similar backgrounds, Both were born into wealth and share the same luxurious lifestyle. The two women have been wealthy their whole lives, as Anna’s father owned a successful weapons business, which was left to Anna and her brother, who decided to sell it. Christine's wealth also comes from her family, although having a successful Los Angeles plastic surgeon as a husband surely contributes to her net worth. In Bling Empire season 2 episode 1, Christine explains in a conversation with Anna, "I didn't want to take my parents' money," showing that despite their ultra-rich lifestyles, the two do have some humble moments.
On top of being born into wealth, Anna and Christine also live very similar lifestyles. Viewers know that they share the same group of friends, and are often at the same social events. Both Anna and Christine have a strong sense of family, with Anna's son Kenny Kemp making the occasional appearance on the series, as Christine showcases her relationship with her husband, Dr. Gabriel Chiu, and their son, Baby G. The women also share an interest in guns, as it is known that Anna has guns both that she uses sometimes, and other firearms that are decorations in her home. Even Christine has been seen at the gun range, sporting a high fashion look.
Despite Anna and Christine's backgrounds and lifestyles showing that they are cut from the same cloth, the current season of Bling Empire shows that the two usually don't see eye-to-eye, and most likely won't anytime soon. While season three hasn't officially been renewed by Netflix yet, cast member Dorothy Wang revealed that the cast filmed the season already. Fans will be watching closely to see how the relationship between Anna and Christine develops in future Bling Empire seasons.
