Ex TVB Actress Shirley Yeung Called A Good Role Model For Saying "Women Can't Have No Money"

Former TVB actress Shirley Yeung, 46, has unfortunately had the reputation for being a gold digger.

Following allegations of infidelity and having a child out of wedlock in 2011, the Miss Hong Kong 2001 winner’s reputation and career came crashing down.

But if you follow the Shirley on her socials, you’d know she works hard for her money.

She took on jobs when she was pregnant with second child, son Kody, in 2020 and just weeks after giving birth.

In recent years, she turned her focus to live streaming, often hosting live streams for long hours, and also shares Douyin videos to increase her visibility.

Recently, Shirley posted a video titled "Women Can't Have No Money", igniting debates about her views on wealth.

In the clip, Shirley shared her perspective on being a woman, insisting that women must have financial security.

She narrated: "Roses can't fill your stomach, little surprises won’t move a mature woman. I'll say it ten thousand times — women can't be without money."

While it sparked discussions about her alleged materialism, most netizens supported her stance on money and even called her a "good role model".

"Work hard and rely on yourself instead of relying on men to support you and your children. Mature adults all know that as a person and as a parent, you cannot live without money," commented one netizen.

Another wrote: "How is working hard being greedy? What logic? It's not just women, men need money too. If you have no money, who's going to support you?"

Shirley doesn’t just work hard for her money, she knows how to make it grow too.

In an earlier interview, she revealed that her mother, who worked in a bank, manages all her earnings, ensuring she never faces financial difficulties.

Today, she owns approximately five properties located in Tseung Kwan O, Lam Tin, Kwun Tong, and Lai Chi Kok, with a combined estimated market value exceeding HK$100 million (S$17.3mil).
