Marrying into a wealthy family seems to be the final destination for many female stars.
However, as the housing collapse incidents of various wealthy families emerge one after another, the female celebrities who were once envied for their "good fortune" have become the talk of the public.
Before, there was Liu Tao who came back to film to pay off her husband's debts, and later there was An Yixuan who was implicated by her husband.
There are many such things, and female stars have also seen clearly: instead of marrying into a wealthy family, it is better to build oneself into a wealthy family.
More and more female stars are starting to do business.
However, these are all latecomers. Speaking of the most successful people who transitioned from female celebrities to business, Yang Baoling is considered one.

Yang Baoling was the winner of the 1987 Hong Kong Miss Election. Most people may say that
is not impressive.
Because the Miss Hong Kong election that year was a fight between gods, the favorite to win was the sexy goddess Qiu Shuzhen.
However, before the finals, Qiu Shuzhen was smeared by the media, saying that she became so beautiful because of plastic surgery.
The selection of Miss Hong Kong has always been based on "truth, goodness and beauty".
Even though Qiu Shuzhen complained in many ways, she still proved that she did not have plastic surgery.
However, in order to calm the anger of the audience, the organizers still did not dare to publicly support Qiu Shuzhen.
Under the huge pressure of public opinion, Qiu Shuzhen had no choice but to withdraw from the Miss Hong Kong election.
's biggest competitor withdrew from the competition, and Yang Baoling became the undisputed winner of the Miss Hong Kong election.
This result was already expected by Yang Baoling, so she did not show too much excitement.
Because Yang Baoling's mother is the famous Hong Kong actor Li Yun'e.
Yang Baoling has followed her mother to various major studios since she was a child, and she yearns for life in the entertainment industry.
Because my family’s financial situation is good, I have never suffered much hardship since I was a child.
Yang Baoling appeared tall and graceful, looking like a beautiful lady.
came back from studying in the UK. At her mother's suggestion, she entered a modeling company as a model.
Participating in the Miss Hong Kong election is just a hobby.
After winning the Miss Hong Kong title, Yang Baoling continued to participate in international beauty pageants. After
wins the championship, it can be said that it is one of the responsibilities of the Hong Kong Miss Champion to continue competing internationally.
However, the previous Hong Kong sisters were not as good as Yang Baoling in the international rankings, because not many people know this tradition.
In the " Miss World " competition, Yang Baoling won the 12th place and was called the "Queen of Asia".
Later, Yang Baoling participated in the Miss Universe competition and won fifth place.
In the second year, Yang Baoling personally put the crown of "Hong Kong Miss Champion" on the head of Michelle Reis.
At this point, she has completed her mission as Miss Hong Kong Champion.
From this moment on, Yang Baoling truly entered the entertainment industry.
At the beginning, she only signed a three-year contract with TVB, but TVB took a fancy to her high popularity and invincible appearance.
still spent a lot of effort to praise her.
At that time, the Seoul Olympics were held.
Wireless, as the broadcaster, naturally has to send reporters to report on the scene.
But who to choose becomes a tricky question.
In the end, after many discussions, wireless executives decided to send Yang Baoling to report on the scene.
You must know that Yang Baoling knew nothing about sports events at the time, and she herself was not interested in sports. If something went wrong with
, it would be equivalent to embarrassing people around the world.
Yang Baoling put in a lot of effort for this report.
not only memorized the competition rules of various sports in a short period of time, but also memorized the information of each participating athlete.
In the end, she left a deep impression on all the audience with her solid hosting skills, elegant and generous image, and flexible on-site response ability.
After this successful reporter experience, TVB valued her even more.At the end of 2000, Yang Baoling starred in the TVB annual drama "Metropolis", filming with Stephen Chow , Cheng Shaoqiu and others.
Later, she filmed the first movie in her life "City Beauty", and later also made a movie with Jackie Chan .
Unfortunately, none of these works made Yang Baoling popular.
At that time, Hong Kong's film market had reached a period of blowout. Lin Qingxia , Maggie Cheung , Zhang Min and other movie stars were producing masterpieces almost every year.
competition is quite fierce.
Even Qiu Shuzhen, who was forced to withdraw from the competition by public opinion, successfully signed a contract with Wireless due to her high popularity.
However, there were too many wireless artists, and newcomers had no chance at all. In desperation, Qiu Shuzhen took refuge in Wang Jing and became famous overnight.
The difference between Yang Baoling and Yang Baoling is that she believes that she is a newcomer and should hone her acting skills first. Therefore, during her three years at TVB, even if she did not become famous, she did not think about leaving.
Yang Baoling did not leave Wireless until the three-year contract expired.
After leaving her old club, Yang Baoling originally planned to use her fists and do something big.
Unexpectedly, the two pieces of news that broke out almost destroyed her.

Yang Baoling had just left her old club, but someone later revealed that Yang Baoling had been married a long time ago.
has been hiding the fact of her marriage from the public just for the sake of popularity. As soon as the news about
came out, public anger was instantly ignited.
pretended to be single and made money by being single. Unexpectedly, he not only had a boyfriend, but also had been married for many years.
Isn’t this deception?
Amid the huge public outcry, Yang Baoling had to hold a press conference to announce the fact that she was married.
However, she also revealed that although she was married, she was currently going through divorce procedures because of the emotional rift between the two.
Now the public is even more confused. It’s okay to hide the marriage from everyone, but they are about to get divorced just after it was discovered?
The media will naturally not want to miss this big melon.
Based on clues, they finally determined that Yang Baoling's husband was music producer Chen Rongsen.
Alan Tam and Chen Baiqiang 's "The Heart and the Heart" were written by him.
However, although Chen Rongsen has achieved some success in his career, his character is hard to say.
After the two divorced, in order to retaliate against Yang Baoling, he held a public press conference to pour out his bitterness to the public.
said that the reason why he and Yang Baoling divorced was because Yang Baoling was dissatisfied with her desires at least ten times a week. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she divorced.
As soon as these words came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
Who would have thought that the seemingly innocent and harmless leader of the Jade Girl would actually look like this in private.
For a time, public opinion turned from criticism of Yang Baoling to ridicule and even contempt.
No matter how Yang Baoling clarified, it was of no use.
Yang Baoling became a street rat that everyone yelled at, and there was no professional public relations team like a brokerage company to explain to her, so her career plummeted.
's ex-husband Chen Rongsen saw that this revenge method was effective, so he went even further and took reporters to take pictures of the big bed where the two had slept, creating an image of himself as a victim.
However, as time went by, people discovered that Chen Rongsen’s statement had many loopholes, was often inconsistent, and could not be justified.
And after experiencing the initial collapse, Yang Baoling also began to fight back.
In order to prove that Chen Rongsen was lying, she had to hold multiple press conferences to disclose various details of their marriage to reporters.
The more details are unfolded, the less tenable Chen Rongsen’s remarks become.
Public opinion began to criticize Chen Rongsen overwhelmingly again, and Yang Baoling was finally relieved.
However, although Yang Baoling is not what Chen Rongsen said, the huge public opinion caused by this incident will not dissipate for a long time.
No crew dared to use Yang Baoling, and Yang Baoling was once reduced to a situation where she had no scenes to film.
In order to make ends meet, Yang Baoling had to frequently participate in ribbon-cutting activities.
She was also called the "ribbon-cutting queen" by the media because she participated in so many events.
A blessing in disguise.
Yang Baoling, whose career and relationship had hit rock bottom, actually rebounded.

Yang Baoling, who has experienced many blows, has seen through the fragility of the artist's situation.
Whether he is an actor or a singer, he looks glamorous on the surface, but once negative news appears, his career will suffer a devastating blow and it will be difficult to turn around.
Instead of placing all the bets on such a risky place, it is better to move to the market and be your own boss.
At that time, Luk Fook Jewelry , which was just starting out, asked Yang Baoling to be its spokesperson.
The reason why Lukfook Jewelry values Yang Baoling is very simple.
At that time, Yang Baoling's career had reached a low point, so she took jobs whenever they came, and she would not refuse anyone who came, and the price was very low.
Moreover, Yang Baoling was born as the Miss Hong Kong champion.
Before Luk Fook Jewellery, the most popular jewelry brand in Hong Kong was Chow Tai Fook .
Chow Tai Fook is also the sponsor of the annual Miss Hong Kong competition. When Yang Baoling participated, she wore Chow Tai Fook jewelry.
Now she is promoting her own brand, doesn’t it just illustrate the superiority of her own brand?
Things turned out to be just as Lukfook Jewelry’s executives imagined.
Yang Baoling accepted the endorsement without saying a word.
And in the process of communication between the two parties, Yang Baoling felt more and more that this brand had a bright future.
Therefore, while acting as a spokesperson and supporting the brand, she also took money to invest in this project. It seems that it is no longer unusual for
stars to move to the market.
But at that time, when most female celebrities ended up in wealthy families, Yang Baoling's move could be said to be very bold.
Moreover, the stock market and real estate were booming at that time.
Most celebrities join the stock market in the hope of becoming rich overnight.
Yang Baoling chose business, which seemed a bit out of place.
But it turns out that Yang Baoling’s vision is very accurate.
Lukfook Jewelry began to enter the mainland in 1994, while veteran Chow Tai Fook only opened its first store in the mainland in 1998.
Luk Fook Jewelry, a rising star, has caught up with the veteran Chow Tai Fook in just a dozen years.
Today, Lukfook Jewelry has thousands of stores in the mainland and has become a new sponsor of Miss Hong Kong.
As an investor in the brand and one of the company directors, Yang Baoling is already worth over 100 million yuan.
strength is the best business card.
Yang Baoling, who has become a domineering female president, has returned to the entertainment industry.
In 1997, she co-produced "Happy Events at Home" with her old partner Huang Baiming.
This film can be said to be full of big names, including Stephen Chow, Gigi Lai, , Karen Wu, , etc.
Yang Baoling did not play many roles in it, so she was not remembered by many people.
However, Yang Baoling may not care anymore. After all, making movies is just a hobby for her now.
Yang Baoling, whose career was going smoothly, soon ushered in her second relationship.
Once, Yang Baoling went out to discuss business and met her second husband Huang Yannian.
Huang Yannian is the vice president of Caesars Palace Casino and also has a net worth of over 100 million.
Huang Yannian is not only worth a lot of money, but also a very gentleman. He fell in love with Yang Baoling at first sight.
At the beginning, Yang Baoling rejected Huang Yannian's pursuit because her last relationship made her exhausted.
But Huang Yannian was very patient, and Yang Baoling disagreed. He did not give up, but treated her twice as much, and finally moved the beauty's heart.
In 2002, the two held a beautiful wedding.
This marriage is very happy for Yang Baoling.
After her marriage, she completely quit the entertainment industry and settled in the United States with her husband.
Yang Baoling also makes no secret of her husband's love and often shows off her affection in a high-profile manner on social platforms.
With the support of her husband, Yang Baoling's career became more and more prosperous, and her net worth increased several times.
In the fourth year of their marriage, their passion ran out and their relationship was in crisis.
In order to save their marriage, the two decided to focus on their family.
Soon, Yang Baoling gave birth to a son.
After having her son, Yang Baoling's business activities decreased significantly. She focused most of her energy on her family and was at home caring for her husband and raising her children.
However, no matter how hard the two tried, the marriage ended after twelve years.
However, this divorce was very honorable.
Husband Huang Yannian not only gave Yang Baoling a breakup fee of 14 million yuan, but also gave Yang Baoling and her children a luxury house worth 60 million yuan in Hong Kong.
Although the breakup ended decently, Yang Baoling was still in pain.
After all, a twelve-year relationship cannot be put down immediately.
Fortunately, at this time, she met her first boyfriend again.
When she was in middle school in the UK, Yang Baoling dated Gav, a boy in her class.
However, at that time, both of them were too young and did not understand what love was. In addition, for many years afterwards, they were busy with their own affairs and had no news about each other.
If it weren't for this class reunion, the two of them might never see each other again in their lifetime.
During this meeting, Yang Baoling had a son who was less than ten years old. Her first love boyfriend also ended her first marriage and lived with her two daughters.
After meeting, the two felt that they still had feelings for each other, and their children also supported their marriage.
The two came together naturally.
After marriage, her first boyfriend’s career focus was in the UK, while Yang Baoling lived with her son and mother in the United States.
boyfriend can only travel back and forth between the two places.
Later, in order to free up more time with his family, my boyfriend resigned from his position in the UK.
went to the United States to live and work.
The family of five can finally be reunited.
Yang Baoling treats the two daughters of her first love boyfriend as her own, and her two stepdaughters also like the new mother very much.
When a family goes out together, the three of them are often mistaken for sisters.
Nowadays, Yang Baoling has retired from the industry for many years and has completely lived a life of caring for her husband and raising her children.

Looking back decades later, the first husband has long been found to be this person, but she has become a winner in life.
