When asked about her "richness", Pham Phuong Thao said: "What is the level of each person's concept of wealth? For example, I have a piece of suburban land and come here to live frugally, but people see it as rich and I also find it very fulfilling. However, many of my colleagues have more than that, but they choose to live in the inner city to take the initiative in their work and personal life because they still want to work more. For me, just enough is enough to be rich in everything".
Phuong Thao said that the female singer is happy and satisfied with her current life.
