How are Ruby Lin, Fan Bingbing, and Zhao Wei doing 26 years after the movie "Princess Pearl"?

"Princess Pearl" aired in 1998 and was the work that helped the trio of beauties Pham Bang Bang, Ruby Lin, and Trieu Vy become famous.

Later, the three actors were often compared by public opinion because they had acted together in this famous historical work.

Ruby Lin

In "Hoan Chau Cach Cach", Ruby Lin's role as Ha Tu Vi impressed with her gentle and pure appearance. After the film, she became Quynh Dao's "muse" and continued to collaborate in works: "Tan dong song ly biet", "Khong phat hoa khong phi suong"...

She tried her hand at directing and producing films, behind some works such as "Khuynh the hoang phi", "Hoa dang so thuong"...

With a thriving career, Ruby Lin is on the list of the richest and most successful artists in Taiwan (China). According to Celebrity Net Worth, Ruby Lin owns a fortune of about 40 million USD.

In 2016, Ruby Lin married Wallace Huo after nearly 20 years of friendship. The couple has a daughter.

Zhao Wei

Tieu Vy became famous when she played the role of Tieu Yen Tu. She impressed with her big, bright eyes, lively acting, portraying an intelligent, individual character. Thanks to the fame after the movie, Trieu Vy was invited to participate in many projects, quickly becoming an A-list star.

Not only participating in acting, she also tried her hand at being a director and film producer in China.

In her personal life, Zhao Wei married businessman Huang You Long in 2009 and gave birth to a daughter a year later. With her husband's support, Zhao Wei started a business and became one of the richest "rich women" in showbiz.

In 2017, the public was shocked when Zhao Wei and her husband's company was fined 600,000 yuan (2 billion VND) for illegal business. In the following years, the actress and her husband were sued many times in court.

In early 2021, Zhao Wei's assets in four companies were frozen. On April 16, Zhao Wei's shares worth 5 million yuan in a company were frozen.

The scandals caused Zhao Wei to be banned from broadcasting, and all the works she participated in were "shelved" indefinitely. Although it was difficult to find a way to work in the entertainment industry, according to HK01, Zhao Wei still had a rich life thanks to business, and is estimated to own assets worth more than 1 billion USD.

Fan Bingbing

Fan Bingbing joined the film "Princess Pearl" at the age of 16. Initially, when she accepted the role, she was nominated to play Ha Tu Vi, but later was only given the role of the servant Kim Toa.

With a beautiful face and delicate features, Pham Bang Bang is even said to surpass Ruby Lin and Zhao Wei in terms of beauty. Thanks to that, even though she only plays a supporting role, Pham Bang Bang still gets attention.

Active in entertainment for more than two decades, the actress is considered a beauty and fashion icon in China and Asia.

However, after being caught up in a tax evasion scandal involving hundreds of millions of dollars in 2018, Fan Bingbing struggled to regain her footing in the Chinese entertainment industry.

She began to promote her activities in Korea, Japan and entered Hollywood movies.

Regarding her personal life, Fan Bingbing is said to be single after many unfinished love affairs. She was said to have dated businessman Guo Yanfeng since 2022 but later broke up.
