Those of you who are keen on reality television will recognize this young woman just from the photo. It's Dorothy Wang, star of 'Rich Kids of Beverly Hills.' You don't get to be on that show unless you have a bank balance big enough to gain entry, but Wang has no issues there. Her father Roger Wang is a huge name in the real estate world, currently serving as the CEO of the Golden Eagle International Group. Ms. Wang's share of the family fortune is something like $3.5bn.
It's easy to take shots at people who appear on reality TV for no reason other than being rich, but Wang hoped to change people's perception of wealthy young women by taking part. She views herself as being humble and down to earth, and had high hopes that she would come across as such on screen. Whether she did or not is completely up to the opinion of those of you who've watched the show!
