Once one of the most beloved sweet voices of folk music in the 1990s, singer Ha Phuong, also known as the younger sister of famous singer Cam Ly, has left a deep impression in the hearts of the audience.

At the peak of her career, Ha Phuong chose to leave the stage, settle down in the US and take care of her family. That decision surprised many people, but few expected that behind that glamorous door, Ha Phuong was living one of the most luxurious lives among overseas Vietnamese artists - when she married one of the richest Vietnamese billionaires in the US, businessman Chinh Chu.

From hometown singer to billionaire's daughter-in-law

Born and raised in a family with an artistic tradition, Ha Phuong and her two older sisters – Minh Tuyet and Cam Ly – are all famous lyrical singers in the Vietnamese music industry. Ha Phuong is especially loved for songs such as Hoa cau vuon trau, Gai que, Thuyen hoa, Mua bui... With her gentle beauty and gentle style, she quickly became a familiar face on the Southern music stages throughout the 1990s - early 2000s.

However, when her name was being sought after, Ha Phuong suddenly withdrew from the entertainment industry to get married and settle down in the US. The husband that made the public curious was none other than Chinh Chu, a Vietnamese businessman born in 1966, known as the "financial tycoon of Wall Street".

Chinh Chu – the secretive billionaire behind the giant financial group

According to many international sources, Chinh Chu is one of the most powerful figures at Blackstone Group - the world's leading financial investment group, with total assets under management of up to hundreds of billions of USD. He is known as one of the "right-hand men" of founder Stephen Schwarzman and has participated in many famous deals worth tens of billions of USD.

Chinh Chu's personal assets are estimated at around 1.1 billion USD, making him one of the most successful Vietnamese billionaires in the US. Despite his wealth, the businessman lives a very private life, avoiding the media and only appearing with his family at a few special events.

Many people describe Chinh Chu as an intelligent man, decisive in his work but extremely warm with his wife and children. Ha Phuong once revealed: "He is very indulgent, always letting me do what I like, as long as it does not affect the family. Even though he is busy, he still takes time to take care of the children and always listens to me."

Luxurious life in the heart of New York

After getting married, Ha Phuong retired behind the scenes, focusing on taking care of her husband and children and doing charity work. Although she is no longer active in the arts, her life has left many people overwhelmed by its level of luxury.

Ha Phuong’s family currently lives in an 80-hectare villa in the most upscale area of New York. Their main villa is only a small part of the property, in addition to 5-6 other houses serving guests, staff and private activities. Due to the huge area, each time the female singer moves within the property, it takes nearly an hour by car.

Not only owning a villa, Ha Phuong and her husband also own a luxurious penthouse on the 89th floor and half of the 90th floor of Trump World Tower - one of the most expensive buildings in Manhattan. This penthouse is worth 33.5 million USD (about 761 billion VND), nearly 1,400 m² wide, including 34 rooms, including 12 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms. From here, the whole family can enjoy a panoramic view of the magnificent New York City and the poetic East River.

Despite her lavish lifestyle, Ha Phuong maintains a simple and private lifestyle. She does not often flaunt her wealth, but instead spends time with her two daughters, taking care of her family and participating in many charity activities.

Ha Phuong's "Marriage Strategy"

Sharing the secret to maintaining family happiness, the female singer once confided: "Almost every girl wants to meet a smart, talented husband. A talented general will be surrounded by many beauties. I always remember what my aunt taught me: 'Getting married is like fighting an enemy, you must have enough strategy'. My strategy is to live true to my wisdom. When living together, you should pay attention to when to be humble and when to give in. You must know how to choose the right time."

That sincere sharing made many people admire, because in a luxurious world where money can change people, Ha Phuong still chooses to preserve happiness with ingenuity and understanding.

Special gift – Opera house in the villa

One of the proofs of the billionaire's love for his wife is the private Opera House he built in the villa just for Ha Phuong to practice her singing. She recounted:

"When I was studying opera singing in America, he secretly built me a theater without my knowledge. The house was so big that I had never been there. It was only when my relatives showed me that I was surprised. Perhaps he only wanted me to sing for him alone, not letting me sing outside."

The story is simple but contains the deep love of a billionaire husband for his wife who used to be a famous singer. For Ha Phuong, music is still an indispensable part of life – the only difference is that now, her audience is her husband and two young daughters.

From stage glory to charity journey

Away from the spotlight, Ha Phuong has not forgotten her roots. She actively participates in charity activities in Vietnam and the US, especially supporting disadvantaged children. The singer has spent millions of dollars to establish the Ha Phuong Foundation, helping poor students, supporting elderly artists and sponsoring many hospitals in her hometown.

No longer a singer who regularly appears on television, Ha Phuong's name is still mentioned with respect - not only because of her illustrious past in music, but also because of her fulfilled life and kind heart in a foreign land.

After more than two decades together, the love between Ha Phuong and Chinh Chu is still as strong as the beginning. They have two beautiful daughters together, live happily in a million dollar villa but still maintain simple and close living habits.

From a rustic folk singer of old Saigon to a powerful, wealthy and happy woman in the heart of New York – Ha Phuong’s journey is like a modern fairy tale. There, she is not only “Cam Ly’s younger sister”, but also a woman who knows how to love, appreciate happiness and live for others.

In the midst of a world of materialism where material things can lead people astray, Ha Phuong still maintains her sincerity and warmth – something more precious than any billion-dollar fortune. And perhaps, it is this very “asset” that truly helps her become the fulfilled woman she is today.
