Preamble:
When we see those female stars in the entertainment industry holding millions of bags and worth hundreds of millions of dollars but still spending money, it is inevitable to question whether their lives are too extravagant and exaggerated.
However, behind those seemingly glamorous and glamorous, how much sadness and helplessness are clear only to the parties themselves?
Or is that lifestyle the most natural choice for them?
This article intends to start from the lives of 6 female stars with a net worth of hundreds of millions and shopping sprees, and analyze the true meaning behind them.
Faye Wong: Prove yourself with music and shopping
In the 90s of the 20th century, Faye Wong became one of the brightest stars in the Chinese music scene with her unique and elegant voice.
For her, music is life.
That kind of subdued singing voice seems to touch the depths of people's hearts directly.
It can be said that Faye Wong has conquered generations of listeners with her natural sound, and every time she sings, she touches the hearts of fans.
At the same time, the image of the fashion pioneer is her most distinctive sign on the stage.
Hermès strings of bags and the frequent change of designer clothes have become the latest fashion symbols of her era.
While chasing musical achievements, Faye Wong is also constantly looking for the latest fashion trends.
She likes to unify the two to create a personal brand that perfectly combines music and fashion.
For Faye Wong, shopping and luxury are not only the satisfaction of material needs, but also a recognition and celebration of her artistic achievements.
Whenever a popular song is produced, she treats herself to be worthy of her luxury.
Those expensive clothes and bags are the most authentic representation of her inner world.
They reflect her confidence in her musical achievements and her relentless pursuit of quality of life.
As she once said, "I am who I am, fireworks of different colors".
This unusual lifestyle forms part of her charisma and makes her stand out in the music world.
Ruby Lin: Helplessness in a luxurious life
If Faye Wong's shopping is out of confirmation of her own artistic value, then there is a kind of helplessness behind Ruby Lin's luxurious life.
In the 90s of the 20th century, Ruby Lin became popular with the drama "Huanzhu Gege".
The little swallow she played was deeply loved by the audience, and she could have become popular.
However, the good times did not last long, and as she grew older, Lin Xinru's future was uncertain.
As a result, she began to choose a more extravagant lifestyle to prove herself and make up for her inner insecurity.
For example, she always chose the most expensive bags and sports cars of the time.
Those seemingly ostentatious behaviors actually hide Lin Xinru's inner struggle and anxiety.
She needs to rely on this external substance to achieve psychological balance.
It's like telling myself and others that I can still control my own destiny and that I'm still a superstar.
She even wears hundreds of millions worth of precious jewelry in public.
This way of life makes her extraordinarily ostentatious in the eyes of the outside world.
It even attracted some criticism.
However, behind those luxuries, there is a lot of bitterness and helplessness that only she knows clearly.
She needs to rely on this external symbol to gain inner peace to get through the lows of her acting career, as well as anxiety about the future.
Perhaps it is this anxiety that drives her to spare no expense to obtain temporary satisfaction.
And the criticism from the outside world has further exacerbated her inner insecurity.
This became an inescapable cycle in her life.
Tang Yan: Self-reward for success
Compared with Ruby Lin, Tang Yan's success is even more enviable.
From "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to her star status, to her later career rising step by step, Tang Yan can be said to be smooth sailing in the entertainment industry.
Not only did she gain recognition for her acting skills, but she also managed to create her own studio with a TV series.
Because of this, her lifestyle is also more extravagant and high-profile.
Those designer bags, rows of Hermès bags, and Tang Yan wearing the most expensive diamond hairpin on her head, seem to complement her accomplishments.
In her, shopping extravagance is more like a self-reward, more like an embodiment of achievement.
Even her husband Luo Jin paid silently for her lifestyle.
Not only did he have a successful career, but he also took the initiative to take on some of the family's financial responsibilities.
All of this is proving to Tang Yan that I deserve this, and I should enjoy this.
Success has made her more glamorous in life, and luxury has become a portrayal of her brilliance.
Such a lifestyle is the most comfortable choice for Tang Yan.
Because she thinks that's what she deserves.
She can also ignore some criticism from the outside world, because she has already established a clear understanding of her own value in her heart.
Huang Shengyi: The construction of a perfect life
Compared with Tang Yan's direct show-off, Huang Shengyi's life is more low-key and introverted.
However, this does not prevent her from building a truly extravagant private world.
The private villa built in the mountains is a modern version of the royal garden.
The collection of art and extravagant furniture inside also makes it more like an art museum.
The large lawn, the shady trees, the sparkling swimming pool, and all kinds of Western antiques create a paradise.
In such an environment, Huang Shengyi seems to live a princess-like life.
She doesn't need to deliberately show off anything to the outside world, but quietly enjoys this paradise that belongs only to her.
This is her vision of what a perfect life is, and only she truly understands it.
This low-key and introverted lifestyle gave Huang Shengyi more sense of achievement.
She doesn't need to judge herself by the recognition of the outside world, but finds peace and happiness in this space that belongs to her.
Although such a life also requires a lot of wealth as support, Huang Shengyi does not deliberately regard it as a show off.
It was more like a pure land of her soul, a haven.
Perhaps it is with such a sense of security that she can build her career more calmly and confidently in the outside world.
Qi Wei: The echo of luxury life and gorgeous love
Unlike Huang Shengyi, Qi Wei's life is never lacking in drama.
The first is her splendid love affair with Lee Seung-hun.
This transnational marriage is more like a screen drama.
The tall and mighty foreign husband, coupled with Qi Wei's lively and generous personality, they are like a pair made in heaven.
And the famous bags, gold-painted tableware, etc. in their lives all complement the sweetness of this relationship.
Qi Wei needs such a luxurious life to show her cherishing of love and prove that she deserves such happiness.
It's like she uses life itself to sublimate the meaning of the relationship.
For her, shopping extravagantly is a symbol of happiness.
When she appeared in public with Lee Seung-hun in her arms, her head-to-toe expensive dress was more eye-catching.
Let everyone be impressed by their romance.
It can be said that Qi Wei has found the other half that best suits her lifestyle.
She also did not hesitate to integrate the other party's background and conditions into her own life.
Such a luxurious and sweet life is the picture that she really yearns for in her heart.
Perhaps because of this, the criticism from the outside world has little impact on her.
Because of Lee Seung-hun's company, she has been able to get everything she wants.
李湘:从巅峰走向谷底的奢侈
Compared with the above-mentioned actresses, Li Xiang's luxurious life contains another meaning.
She was originally the pillar of Hunan Satellite TV, and she was once in the limelight.
Therefore, all kinds of imported delicacies and luxury cars and villas have become a symbol of her success.
It can be said that the embodiment of luxury in life is a portrayal of her standing at the pinnacle of life.
But the good times didn't last long.
In various controversies, Li Xiang gradually lost power, and her luxurious life became the target of public criticism.
It's like a portrayal of her journey from the top to the bottom, where luxury and success are out of balance, attracting criticism.
What used to be a symbol of success is now a sign of ridicule.
For her, the glory of the past contrasts with the illusion of a life of luxury.
This extravagant feast has also become a microcosm of the turning point of her fate.
During the whole process, Li Xiang's heart has undoubtedly gone through ups and downs, from soaring to doomed.
Now, when she is faced with the extravagant purchases she once had, what kind of psychological activity will she have? In the criticism of the outside world, is she also reflecting, is she also doubting, the true meaning of that lifestyle?
It's hard to imagine.
But what is certain is that Li Xiang's fate has changed dramatically.
Epilogue:
So, if we take a closer look at the shopping and luxury of these celebrities, we will find all kinds of meanings contained in them.
It is not just a superficial show-off, but an expression and recognition of their destiny at their respective stages of life.
Perhaps, as in the opening question, it is difficult to judge their lifestyles simply.
But what is clear is that behind these glamorous lives, there are all kinds of hidden psychological activities and emotional worlds, which are worthy of being viewed with a more tolerant and understanding mentality.
Because everyone is pursuing what is most important to them, and they are all looking for their own direction in life.
As for whether it was finally found, who can easily say for sure?
