Awareness of living kindly

Jenny Huynh's real name is Huynh Viet Hoang Vy, born in 2005, is the daughter of the founder of the Vien Thong A phone chain. She currently lives in the US.

With an independent personality since childhood, Jenny Huynh has a very innocent, intelligent and humorous young lifestyle. Jenny became famous at the age of 12, she quickly attracted viewers with video clips that sometimes just recorded relaxing moments, studying, following trends, friends, or when going out to eat or drink, when using popular products...

With a rich imagination and personality, creating good content, she gradually became a professional and famous YouTuber, TikToker, Instagrammer, many of her clips have millions of views.

To date, she has more than 15 million followers on social media platforms. Many people have watched Jenny Huynh since they were young and still follow her now. Not only that, Jenny Huynh is also a partner of more than 50 famous international brands such as Nestle and Duolingo...

While people of her generation only watched clips and videos as entertainment, Jenny Huynh was very conscious in "building" channels on platforms. The amount of money she earned since she was young was a dream number for adults.

Business also came to Jenny Huynh very early. She now owns a fashion design shop with products printed with her drawings. Before that, when she was a student, Jenny knew how to sell Slime products (a toy that primary school students love).

In addition, Jenny is also the founder of the Whoop.vn platform connecting the content creation community in Vietnam. Jenny Huynh is very active in volunteer activities such as raising funds for heart surgery for children through Heartbeat Vietnam to support heart surgery costs for children in difficult circumstances.

What is special is that Jenny is very conscious and has a positive attitude towards studying. She has never been so busy "playing" on the internet that she neglects her studies, or has a family with financial potential but is busy playing, without having to worry, or living off the halo and influence of her family.

On the contrary, many of her peers shared that they had studied “online” with Jenny Huynh through her livestream videos. That is, when studying, she would use her music and images to study, and at the same time “invite” her “fans” to bring their lessons to study with her. This brought great motivation to her peers at that time.

One of you said: "When I saw her studying for hours, millions of people came to watch, witnessing her studying, it made us think about the seriousness of a famous person who still studies hard, considers studying as the most important thing, so we also took out our books to study and "race" with her."

Jenny also regularly shares her studies, daily life, and experiences studying abroad in the US on digital platforms. In 2024, Jenny Huynh was honored by YouTube as one of the most outstanding creators in Vietnam, and was one of the Top 50 faces of the WeChoice Awards.

If Vietnamese students are worried about the 10th grade entrance exam and the university entrance exam, then in 2023, Jenny Huynh is the same. She was very worried when she went to "spread" her applications to prestigious universities in the US but was rejected until she was accepted to Stanford University, USA.

She studied Symbolic Systems, a major that suited her interests, at Stanford University (ranked 6th in the world), where famous people like Elon Musk, Sergey Brin (Google), Marissa Mayer (Yahoo) studied.

During these two years, Jenny Huynh has always affirmed her position as a "family heir" by studying and continuing her creative work on social media platforms, and participating in several events that gathered famous KOLs and Influencers.

Currently, she is studying abroad at Peking University (Top 1 in China) under the student exchange program with Stanford University. To receive this satisfactory result, it did not come naturally, Jenny shared, this was a competitive and stressful journey, no less than the time she submitted her application to Stanford University. She had to prepare for 3 months, write an essay of more than 3,000 words, and was put on a waiting list for nearly 2 months before receiving a confirmation letter.

With 15 million followers on 4 platforms: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Jenny Huynh is said to have a significant source of income from social networking platforms.

According to statistics from Social Blade, her YouTube channel can earn from 265 million to 4.2 billion VND per month, but this is also an unverified number from her. In addition, the amount of money she earns from promoting products for big brands is also significant, increasing the 19-year-old girl's huge monthly income.

However, the difference in this young girl is that she always actively participates in social activities, and what makes her different is not only the number but also the level of influence, the quite sincere and pure connection between the creator and the interested public.

Entering the Forbes list at the age of 19, Jenny became the youngest Vietnamese person to be honored in this ranking, the second youngest person is Brian Tran who was honored at the age of 22.

Jenny Huynh was described by Forbes as one of the young content creators with great social media influence. She was honored in the Social Media, Marketing & Advertising category. This is truly a dream, as Jenny Huynh shared, “Since I was 12 years old, I have known about the Forbes list and always read about the achievements of my seniors and hoped that one day, I would be on that list. Now at the age of 19, that dream has come true”.

Forbes announced the 10th “30 Under 30 Asia” list, honoring 30 outstanding young faces under 30 years old across the Asia-Pacific region, with a clear vision for the future, and a focus on AI technology.

Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia motto: “We want to celebrate a decade of outstanding talent and innovation by highlighting a new generation of young entrepreneurs and leaders who have demonstrated resilience and creative will in an increasingly fierce business landscape,” said Rana Wehbe Watson, editor-in-chief of Forbes Asia.

Many faces on the list are using AI to improve product value, attract investors in many fields such as healthcare, and finance. Many others use AI to develop niche business models, specializing in serving local customers in the context of global trade is still unstable. Hopefully, there will be more typical faces of Vietnam in the top of Forbes as a proof that young Vietnamese people have potential and creativity, as well as contribute the most positive things to society and the community.
