How old is Bling Empire’s Mimi?
Mimi may look young but the truth is she’s actually 53 years old. The mom, philanthropist and business owner went from living in a hole while growing up as a child in Vietnam surrounded by war, to a thriving life in the United States.
She revealed on the show that she tried to escape her village with her siblings at the age of seven but didn’t manage to leave. This meant she had no option but to live in a large hole in the ground for two years with little food and water.
Eventually, the Bling Empire star was able to do the journey from Vietnam to the United States. That’s when she started modeling for different brands, and launched a business. Now, she lives in an impressive $8.8 million home in California.
