Anna Shay, who participated in Netflix’s “Bling Empire” reality show, d!ed of a stroke. She was 62 years old.
“It saddens our hearts to announce that Anna Shay, a loving mother, grandmother, charismatic star, and our brightest ray of sunshine, d!ed from a stroke at 62.”
Anna taught us many life lessons, such as not taking life too seriously and appreciating the better things in life. Her influence on our lives will be mourned but never forgotten,” her family said in a statement to Variety on Monday.
Shay was born and raised in Japan, the son of American businessman Edward Shay and Ai Oizumi Shay, a half-Japanese, half-Russian mother. Pacific Architects and Engineers, a multinational defense contractor, was founded by her father.
Shay’s brother, Allen, became CEO of Pacific Architects after her father d!ed in 1995. Shay and her brother sold the company to Lockheed Martin in 2006, giving them the company’s heirs.
Shay went on to star in Netflix’s reality show “Bling Empire” in 2021. She co-starred with Kane Lim, Gabriel and Christine Chiu, Kim Lee, Jaime Xie, and other Asian American socialites from Los Angeles. The show was frequently compared to the real-life “Crazy Rich Asians.”
“Shay says she thought about starring on ‘Bling Empire’ as doing something for herself, after spending years looking after her son, in the wake of her parent’s deαths,” Town & Country wrote in a 2021 profile.

“Bling Empire” co-star Kevin Kreider paid tribute to Shay: “You never know when your last goodbye will be. So unexpected and wished when I saw you last for lunch, I would have taken a moment to smell the roses and had one last adventure with you.”
Co-star Kim Lee said, “This is such a huge shock. I have so much love for Anna. I know we had issues on the show but in real life, I had such a great connection with her outside of the show.
We saw eye to eye, and she gave me so many words of wisdom I will never forget. There’s no one like Anna Shay; she’s an incredible and unique person who so many people beloved. My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.” Kenny Kemp, Shay’s son, survives her.
