The Philippines may be a developing country but there are some pretty rich personalities who could pass as real-life crazy rich Asians.
Let’s get to know some of them.
- Heart Evangelista
If there’s one Filipino whose fashion style and brand choices can make the jaws drop here and abroad, that would have to be global style icon Heart Evangelista.
Her crazy rich lifestyle has caught even the attention of Kevin Kwan, author of the bestselling novel Crazy Rich Asians, that he even requested that she audition for the book’s movie adaptation.
On screen and in real life, Heart dons the most stylish clothes, walks the most expensive shoes, and flashes the most extravagant bags.
Did we mention that she’s also an artist whose paintings sell at P6 million or more?
Here’s the real deal. Heart wasn’t exactly new to the world of extravagance and it wasn’t her showbiz career that introduced her to it.
Love Marie Ongoauco or simply came from a family of entrepreneurs. The Ongpaucos own the famous Barrio Fiesta restaurant chain, among others. Talk about being born with a silver spoon!
- Dominique Cojuanco
The Philippines’ rich list would not be complete without the mention of the Cojuancos.
Dominique is the only daughter of business tycoon Tony Boy Cojuanco and actress Gretchen Barretto. Just like her mom, this beauty and brains is a force to reckon with in the world of style and fashion.
Aside from being in the Le Bal des Débutantes, one of the most prestigious debutante balls in the world featuring young ladies from prominent families, Dominique does not run out of exquisite closet finds. Aside from her own collection, she has full access to her mother’s extravagant collection to boot!
- Victor Consunji
He is currently hogging the limelight because of his falling out with former beauty queen and ex-wife Maggie Wilson.But there are far more interesting things about real estate mogul Victor Consunji other than his love life.
Victor is the current CEO of Victor Consunji Development Corp. (VCDC), which is now independent from the family-owned DMCI Homes.
- Kris Aquino
Name it, Kris Aquino has practically been everything you can imagine. She was a president’s daughter, a president’s sister, a highly paid actress, a trusted brand endorser, and a successful business woman. She’s also a mother of two.
And this woman actually landed a role in the movie adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians. Perhaps, being a real-life crazy rich asian does not need acting when you’re actually born super rich.
