  "account": "The billionaire Chearavanont family has bestowed a $1 million luxury condo in Bangkok upon Nene Royal, the first Thai contestant to triumph in America's Got Talent. The condominium, situated in Mulberry Grove, Forestias Condominiums, boasts approximately 98 square meters and two bedrooms along with two bathrooms. Its estimated value ranges from 25 million to 36 million Thai baht, reported by The Bangkok Post. Nene, whose real name is Rattikarn Praew Amloy, secured the $1 million prize during the 2026 season of America's Got Talent. Dhanin Chearavanont, the senior chairman of the CP Group, disclosed the gift upon Nene's victory, though it had been presented to her and her family earlier in the month ahead of the show's finale. Dhanin emphasized in a press release that the family's story can inspire future generations to dream big, act, persevere, and believe in their potential, while not forgetting the importance of family support. The luxurious condo is intended to serve as Nene's residence and a means of supporting her burgeoning music career. The CP Group, one of the world's largest producers of animal feed and livestock, has a combined wealth of US$36.6 billion and is ranked second on Forbes' Thailand rich list. In addition to the condo, CP provided Nene with a scholarship, Apple technology, and a Buddha statue to recognize her talents and contributions to Thailand's reputation. The company also endorsed her by displaying her image on an LED screen in New York's Times Square, aiming to boost her profile before the final of America's Got Talent.",
