If there was ever a week we need a distraction from reality….shh, don’t worry, Netflix knows. So they’ve served up Bling Empire—a new reality show so utterly removed from reality that you’ll be left worried about the consequences of accidentally wearing a Louis Vuitton pink sapphire and diamond necklace that your party host owns too, until you remember that you don’t own a Louis Vuitton pink sapphire and diamond necklace, and also that you haven’t been to a party in a year. Shh, shh, go back to sleep. Where were we? Would you like some caviar?
Bling Empire is real-life Crazy Rich Asians, set in L.A., and filmed very clearly before the pandemic struck (No masks! Parties! Travel!). But beyond the fortune and glamour, the show also tackles more serious topics including traditional family values and expectations in Asian culture, infertility, and identity. Yet the casting feels, for the most part, quite random. Meaning you get the sense that very few of these people knew one another before Netflix brought them together in front of some cameras and said “Go play the Gucci claw machine at this child’s first birthday party together!” But that doesn’t make any of them less entertaining or less rich, which is what we signed up for. And if you count sitting glued to your TV for eight hours because of drama involving a penis pump in a shower as a treat, you’re in for it.
Here are the Instagram handles of the cast if you are in the 90210 and are feeling inspired to look into Dr. Chiu’s plastic surgery offerings, or you just want to stalk the adorable babies of the cast in their tiny Balenciaga outfits.

The very generous yet so petty she would win gold if pettiness was an Olympic Sport Anna Shay is an icon. The self-described Socialite & Philanthropist doesn’t Instagram much, but when she does, it’s to show off her diamonds.

Say what you want about Christine, but the woman can turn out a lewk. As can young stunner Baby G, pictured here in a Dolce & Gabbana tux. And here’s Dr. Gabe Chiu’s business’ page too if, again, you’re in the market.

If there’s an unsung hero of the series, it’s Cherie. Sweet Cherie, who gave birth to a child in front of a Netflix camera crew and also proposed to her boyfriend in front of hundreds of people because we can’t count on men for anything, is a feminist icon. No choice but to stan. Here’s hoping for her wedding to be in Season Two?
