How does the "richest woman in domestic entertainment" make money like crazy? /
Li Xiang has many labels on her, including "the first sister of variety shows", actress, sales queen, domineering female CEO... But I don't know when, when everyone mentions her, the first reaction is always a rich woman. Some netizens even ridiculed:
"Did she come from time travel, or is she a reborn heroine? How did she hit every outlet neatly and accurately?"
If you look at Li Xiang's resume in the first half of her life, you will find that she has always known what she does. She engaged in career and investment in one, and accurately targeted the opportunities to make money, and eventually became recognized as the "richest woman in domestic entertainment".
When she was a student, Li Xiang refused the recommendation of Tianjin University. In order to realize her dream of becoming a host, she was admitted to the Communication University of China with the first place.
Because of his excellent grades, Li Xiang began to intern at CCTV in his sophomore year. After graduation, she chose to go to Hunan TV, which was undergoing reform, and hosted all the way from "Evening News" to "Happy Camp".
At that time, "Happy Camp" was all live broadcast, which was a great test of the host's on-the-spot performance and eloquence. He Jiong was inevitably nervous before taking the stage for the first time, but Li Xiang, who is two years younger than him, was more calm: "There is nothing scary about live broadcasts. Just follow me and do whatever you want."
Li Xiang's business ability is obvious to all. In those years, she won the "Golden Microphone" award and was rated as "the most popular host on national satellite TV". She is a veritable "variety show sister" of Mango Channel.
What's even more rare is that she was already well versed in traffic at that time. She acted and released albums, and truly realized the three-dimensional development of film, television and singing, and became a household name.
But to everyone’s surprise, she chose to leave Happy Camp at her peak and broke into the business world with her bag. She said:
“I have a general direction in my heart. I have thought about what I should have in my career. pursuit. I can’t remember when I get old that I only did "Happy Camp"."
Li Xiang, who is vigorous and resolute, founded Beijing Happy Star Culture Communication Co., Ltd. in 2004. She is no longer just a host, but I am very busy investing in film and television, opening theaters, and doing business.
In the following years, Li Xiang made many career changes. In 2013, at the age of 37, she became the deputy director of Shenzhen Satellite TV. In 2016, she served as vice president of Qihoo 360, enjoying an annual salary of tens of millions + stocks.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to pursuing a career and investing, Li Xiang also accumulated wealth through another important channel, which is to get involved in real estate.
As early as when he was in college, Li Xiang was saving money while frantically looking at and buying houses in Beijing. It is said that she buys a house every month and owns more than 70 houses around the Third and Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. The authenticity of the number
is unknown, but Li Xiang’s reputation as the “House Sister” of domestic entertainment has spread because of this number. She herself also bluntly said in an interview: She can no longer remember how many suites there are.
Regardless of the large quantity, she never buys blindly, but has her own investment logic:
"The houses I choose are all in the best locations, with the best quality, and with the best floors. People will buy them at any time. There will be no risk."
Not only that, Li Xiang's precise investment in real estate has also affected people around him. He Jiong bought his first house in Beijing at the instigation of Li Xiang.
At that time, the house price in Beijing's Third Ring Road was 3,000 yuan per square meter. For He Jiong, who had just started working, this was not a small sum of money. But soon after he gritted his teeth and bought it, Beijing began to restrict purchases, and housing prices began to skyrocket dozens of times. Therefore, He Jiong lamented in the program more than once:
"I really had no idea at the time, so I just followed her footsteps and made a fortune with Sister Xiang."
In 2018, Li Xiang keenly sensed the business opportunity of live streaming. Amid the negative voices of "rich women go bankrupt" and "Li Xiang is low", she immediately established a live broadcast company, becoming the first batch of celebrities in the entertainment industry to live broadcast to bring goods, and also the first wave of people to reap the dividends of live broadcast.
In addition, Li Xiang handles business negotiations and product pricing. At her peak, she carried goods for 5 minutes and quoted 800,000 yuan. After a live broadcast, you can earn tens of millions and make a lot of money.
Nowadays, more and more celebrities are flocking to live broadcasts and want a piece of the pie, but Li Xiang has long since retired and is enjoying his retirement life.

/ After her first marriage to a "diamond tycoon" and her second marriage to a famous director,
she discovered that women still have to rely on themselves! /
First, she accumulated capital and qualifications through a good job, and then achieved financial freedom through being a boss and investing in real estate. Li Xiang has always had a very precise vision when it comes to career and money. In contrast, she has a very precise vision for picking out men. Not even close.
Li Xiang’s first husband was the “diamond tycoon” Li Houlin. In 2004, she had just left Kuaiben and had a flash marriage with Li Houlin, whom she had known for only 33 days. Overnight, the luxurious wedding became the focus of major media attention and was called the "wedding of the century."
After getting married, Li Xiang's career stopped and he became a rich lady. At that time, Li Houlin often dragged her to do activities, showed affection everywhere, and said that he loved her more and more. And Li Xiang, who became a "tool man", wore his own jewelry wherever he went, becoming a mobile billboard.
The two seem to be in love, but in fact they are hiding a crisis. In those two years, Li Houlin was often reported to have cheating, domestic violence, bankruptcy and other news. Sure enough, this marriage came and went quickly.
In 2006, Li Xiang divorced. During this failed relationship, Li Xiang once used the most traditional spoiled wife attitude to admire and retain the other party, but she always showed weakness and obedience in the marriage, and could not have happiness.
In 2007, Li Xiang cheered up from the haze of divorce. She said:
"This year will be my working year. Everyone will see a workaholic Li Xiang. I hope everyone will not be too surprised by the big changes in a little woman."
But maybe she still has illusions about love. Just two years later, she married 36-year-old Wang Yuelun at the age of 33. She likes his down-to-earthness and doesn't care whether he has a lot of wealth.
Wang Yuelun's father is a painter and studied under the master Wu Guanzhong. He grew up in a scholarly family. After graduating from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he stopped painting and became a director across the border.
But despite being a "well-known director", Wang Yuelun has almost no works to his name. After marriage, with the help of Li Xiang, he produced all the MVs for the god-level talent show "Super Girl" that year.
Not only that, in 2009, Li Xiang established a company and funded his husband Wang Yuelun's art and filmmaking. However, the movies he made, including "The Perfect Nine", "Panda Heroes" and "The Great Panda", had an overall average score of 4.6. In the end, all the money and expectations were wasted.
In this marriage where the woman is strong and the man is weak, Wang Yuelun is gradually regarded as a "soft rice man" by the outside world. On a program, Wang Yuelun once ridiculed himself:
"Everyone says that Li Xiang sold her house to make a movie for me. In fact, her hobby is buying and selling houses, which has nothing to do with my movie."
In 2013, Wang Yuelun took his daughter Wang Shiling to participate in "Where Are We Going, Dad" and gained numerous fans. A film director finally became popular because of a variety show. No wonder some people ridiculed him for "relying on his father when he was young, relying on his wife after getting married, and relying on his daughter when he gets old."
In this way, Li Xiang, who once dreamed of being a little woman in a marriage relationship, was forced by reality to become a strong woman who is both domestic and external.
But Wang Yuelun, who seems to be honest and honest, is actually the most dishonest. Starting from 2019, Wang Yuelun stopped making movies and completely let himself go. During that time, Li Xiang fell into the quagmire of marriage.
After three years of separation, in 2021, 45-year-old Li Xiang divorced 48-year-old Wang Yuelun, ending their 12-year marriage in disgrace.
But she never loses her temper. After divorcing Li Houlin, she auctioned the diamond ring given to her by the other party at a high price; after divorcing Wang Yuelun, her ex-husband secretly accused Li Xiang of "cheating": "I wish Li Xiang and her lover grow old together."
Li Xiang did not respond. I only updated the Internet with a beautiful photo of a hand wearing a big diamond ring and a plate of green, slightly black vegetables. Netizens commented on the deep meaning behind the photos: "You are green and I am black."
More than 20 years ago, young Li Xiang once said on a show with a shy look:
"I think family is more important than career."
"I hope It’s better for my husband to have the final say on all matters big and small.”
But after experiencing two failed marriages, she must have realized one thing: no matter when and where, women still have to rely on themselves!
Not only that, in her second marriage, Li Xiang had Wang Shiling, which was her biggest gain.

/ Li Xiang, who raised his daughter richly:
has a lot of money, but also companionship and love /
This year, Li Xiang saw an old photo of Wang Shiling, which went viral on various social platforms. In the photo, when Li Xiang looks at his daughter, his eyes are full of pride and appreciation, as if he is looking at his most beloved and satisfying work.
So netizens took to the Internet one after another to break the defense. One comment left a deep impression on Bamei: "Many people have never been watched like this in their lives."
So many people speculated, how did Li Xiang grow up? As everyone knows, she actually grew up in a strict family. Her father was a judge and her mother was in the automobile group business. Although her family was well off, her parents only suppressed her but did not praise her.
So much so that she became the "first sister of variety shows" on Mango Channel. Her parents would still write reviews for her after the show, but the whole thing was "all bad all the time" and not a single word was a word of praise or encouragement.
But she did not extend this education method to her daughter. Only after being exposed to the rain did the mother know how to hold an umbrella for her daughter desperately.
had enough of the pain of constant criticism. In the process of raising Wang Shiling, Li Xiang always raised his daughter from the bottom of his heart, making her have top-notch food and clothing.
For example, when Wang Shiling appeared on the show at the age of 4, she wore designer clothes worth tens of thousands. When I grew up, private servers became even more of a luxury brand.
Many people couldn't stand her spending money like water and mocked her as a "nouveau riche", but she said:
"It's normal to have clothes worth tens of thousands and a bag worth hundreds of thousands. I sacrificed my life for the treasure, why don't I give her the best?" ?"
For another example, when she was 13 years old, Wang Shiling was sent to study in the UK. The annual tuition fee alone was 350,000. Not only that, she also stayed in the "former residence" of the current eldest princess of the British royal family, Anne, and traveled with a starry sky-top Rolls-Royce worth nearly ten million.
Although she is following the route of elite education, she is not the traditional "hope for her daughter to become a phoenix", but simply hopes that her daughter will have a broader vision and finally choose a place she likes to live.
When people still only focus on how "rich" the mother and daughter are, they often overlook Wang Shiling's excellence. In fact, she has already proven the results of "enrichment".
As early as the age of 8, Wang Shiling's painting "Peacock" was auctioned for 120,000 yuan; when she was 9 years old, she opened her own painting exhibition; when she was 12 years old, she was qualified to participate in the Louvre Museum in France with her "Garden".
In June this year, Wang Shiling, who studied at Bonneton Girls' School, the best girls' school in the UK, defeated 90% of the school's students and won the annual design scholarship with a bonus of 670,000 yuan.
This scholarship is mainly used to reward students with outstanding performance in art, sports, drama, design, etc. In the email sent to Li Xiang by the school, it clearly stated:
"This year's competition is very fierce, but Wang Shiling's performance is very good. Whether it is paintings or photography, she has shown full artistic talent."
A few days ago Recently, a painting created by Wang Shiling was selected as a Christmas poster by the school, once again proving her strength.
From this point of view, Li Xiang's "encouragement education" is undoubtedly outstanding. True prosperity is never just about luxurious material conditions. What is more touching is always spiritual nourishment, companionship and love.
When participating in a program a few years ago, Li Xiang once said:
"I am just such a daughter. I hope that when she grows up, seeing the photos of her childhood will be the best memories."
There is an economy A powerful mother is certainly blessed with material resources for her daughter, but what is even more rare is that she leads by example and teaches her daughter sobriety and independence.
