#SHOWBIZ: 'I really regret it': Actress Zhu Rui loses life savings to investments
BEIJING: Chinese actress Zhu Rui has opened up about her severe financial struggles, revealing that she has completely wiped out her life savings following ill-fated stock market investments and a prolonged career slump.
Beijing, China - Chinese actress Zhu Rui has revealed her financial downfall, stating she has exhausted her life savings after making disastrous stock market investments and enduring a prolonged career slump. At 39 years old, the actress now depends on her elderly mother for financial support to meet her daily needs. In a candid video, Zhu admitted she once avoided buying luxury items like designer bags and gold jewelry to save money, but deeply regrets her frugality now.
She lamented that she could have bought these items if she hadn't invested her money in stocks. Zhu expressed shame over having to ask her mother for 2,000 yuan (approximately RM1,213) to make ends meet. Despite her fame from starring in popular TV dramas like A Beautiful Daughter-In-Law Era and Hot Mom, Zhu's acting opportunities dwindled as she became typecast in middle-aged roles.
To make ends meet, she turned to the stock market without prior investment experience, pouring all her 20-year savings of 700,000 yuan into stocks. Now, Zhu has withdrawn from public life, focusing on caring for her ailing mother.
