Dorothy Wang is an American television personality. She is known for starring in E!'s reality show Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. She also has her own jewelry line and a champagne line.

Early life

Dorothy Suen Lin Wang [王宣琳] was born to mother Vivine Wang and father Roger Wang, immigrants from Taiwan,[3] on 26 January 1988.[1] Dorothy has a sister, Janice Wang.[4] Wang is currently positioned as an heiress set to inherit the company, and is currently valued at an estimated 3.6 billion dollars.[5][unreliable source?][6][7][8] However, Dorothy was unaware of the fortune her father amassed through his real estate entrepreneurial ventures until she saw Forbes publish the information.[9][unreliable source?]

Personal life

Dorothy attended the prestiguious Harvard Westlake Preparatory school then went on and graduated from the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism after majoring in communication and journalism and minoring in business.[10][11]

Career

Wang was originally scouted for the program after producers from E! saw her Tumblr account. The then-26-year-old described herself as a "funemployed" heiress to her father's four billion retail real estate fortune, as he founded the Golden Eagle International Group in Nanjing and turned his assets into the country's largest mall chains, having stores in 15 cities.[12] As Wang explained, "When Rich Kids Of Instagram launched, I was one of the main people they featured on the site. I was one of the first people they put on the Tumblr and then they kept putting me on it. So I was approached after producers at the network saw me on the Tumblr page and from there they asked me, 'Would you ever want to do a reality show?' and I responded, 'Honestly, I thought I was living a reality show the last seven years of my life. Thank God cameras are going to be there so I’m not just posing into thin air for myself.'"[12][13]

Wang also has developed a jewelry line where she emblazons the catchphrases she uses on the show onto necklaces (silver and gold chains with the words: #rich, #fabuluxe or #nofilter - an Instagram phrase which means a picture is naturally impressive, without the use of photo editing), and has a collection planned featuring a necklace with her catchmark phrase #funemployed on it.[14]

Wang is also interested in pursuing a career in real estate, possibly within her father’s company.[7][14][15]
