Actress Truong Ba Chi has recently become the focus of controversy on social networks after revealing her living space and her 3 sons when appearing on a television program.
In the broadcast episode, Cecilia Cheung invited guests to visit an apartment in Shanghai (China). This is a rare time for the public to see the private life behind the glamorous appearance of an A-list star.
The apartment is decorated in a minimalist European style, with many family photos of Truong Ba Chi and her children hanging on the walls.
But as soon as the door opened, the scene in front of the audience could not help but be surprised: children's skateboards piled up near the door, stuffed animals surrounding lazy chairs in the living room, a snowboard stuffed under the tea table, Lego scattered all over the floor, and the youngest son sitting and painting directly on the floor.
The kitchen area is even more noteworthy. The kitchen cabinet is full of colorful dishes for children, unwashed milk bottles. The camera also recorded the scene of moldy bread, cluttered spice jars, a bundle of wilted vegetables in a tray and rubber boots covered in mud right next to it.
Images of Truong Ba Chi's house quickly spread online, attracting many mixed opinions. Many netizens expressed skepticism: "I thought it was all luxury furniture, who knew it was so messy", "It turns out that stars also live like this?", "This is not an actor's house, but a battlefield for a real single mother"...
However, many others have spoken out to defend her, saying that the apartment is not messy at all, but this is simply the space of a real-life house.
Some viewers pointed out that the living room of the apartment still has an imported sofa from Italy, the walls are decorated with luxurious gold-plated trim, the overall design is deeply family-oriented. Truong Ba Chi's main bedroom is decorated in a princess style with Elsa-shaped blankets; while the children's rooms have a warm design, creating a feeling of safety and comfort.
Supporters highly appreciate Truong Ba Chi, because she both maintains her career and raises children, and at the same time confidently lets the public see a normal, unpretentious version of herself.
After divorcing actor Nicholas Tse in 2012, Cecilia Cheung single-handedly raised 2 sons, Lucas and Quintus. Later, she gave birth to her third son, Marcus (in 2018) but did not reveal the identity of the child's father.
From 2021, Truong Ba Chi and her 3 children moved to live in Shanghai (China). According to many people, the "clutter" in the house clearly reflects her priority, which is to put the comfort and freedom of her children above maintaining a perfect celebrity image.
Truong Ba Chi once shared her child-rearing view: "Let scandals be outside the door", do not let entertainment noise affect children's daily lives.
Although her private life is being scrutinized, Truong Ba Chi's career continues to develop. In 2024 alone, she appeared in 6 reality shows and is said to have generated 200 million RMB in revenue in just one livestream session. In 6 months, she signed 7 advertising contracts and 3 brand ambassador contracts, earning more than 50 million RMB.
Recently, Truong Ba Chi revealed that she has completed the creation of a will. The media estimates that her assets could reach 1 billion CNY, which is the result of more than 20 years of activity in the entertainment and business investment industry.
In addition to acting in movies and participating in television programs, the beauty "King of Comedy" showed a keen business mind when establishing a media company in Hangzhou with a registered capital of 50 million RMB, strongly developing the livestream sales segment.
Regarding real estate, Truong Ba Chi owns a luxury villa worth 180 million RMB in Hong Kong (China), luxury apartments in Shanghai estimated at about 40 million RMB, and a villa worth more than 100 million RMB near Beijing airport, along with many real estate properties in Australia and Singapore.
