What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bling Empire may be another celebration of lavish wealth, but the focus on an Asian American cast gives this reality program an intriguing layer of cultural celebration.

Michael Cuby them. 09/28/2022
The show is every bit as manufactured and trashy as you’d expect, but with its carefully-curated cast of TV-made personalities — like Kane, the extravagant gay son of oil magnates — it’s also tons of fun. Go to Full Review

4/5
You'll soon find more under the layers of its Asian cast at lavish parties, going on spending sprees, and draped in designer clothes and shoes. Bling Empire uses the grotesque opulence to hook viewers, but in a refreshing twist, that's not all there is. Go to Full Review
Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal 07/01/2021
It's one more reality show that gives rich people a chance to build brands and foster careers without having to do any heavy lifting. Go to Full Review
Brian Ng Vanity Fair 02/10/2021
These rich people problems are once again bait for the switch... True representation will only be achieved when all aspects of what it is to be Asian are depicted in the media. Go to Full Review

Richard H @Rich78 05/07/2022 Asian or not, intellectually challenged spoiled people behaving inappropriately are difficult to watch, I don't think it is right to expose them like this making them look this bad. Imagine if European people in America ran around yelling I'm European European European, that wouldn't fly in this woke era. Highly inappropriate show See more Maryn M @AthenasDaughter 08/19/2021 Seems like all the positive reviews here are from friends of the editing staff. Never seen so many 5-star comments mentioning the slick editing. Still won't save this shallow and tedious show. The public is getting tired of being asked to look up and admire the 1% of the world for doing nothing more than inheriting the billions made by the previous generation in ways that only lead to the faster destruction of Earth. Sick of having ridiculous and obscene wealth shoved down our throats as a badge of honor. No one on this show is the least bit likeable, with or without daddy's millions. See more Junji Ito's G @RT07784604 08/01/2021 Not going to lie, I had a good time watching this. It's funny and entertaining. See more 07/30/2021 Well it sure is entertaining. See more 04/04/2021 The camera work is good. Sound is perfect. Editing is okay. That's about all that I found tolerable about this extremely cartoonish show about annoying, unlikeable, very unrelatable rich people. Oh, it's also a snooze fest. I could only make it to episode 2. See more 03/12/2021 They may be rich but they are surely low class. Yelling we are Asians and we are buying your properties, Kane perpetuates the negative Asian image all through the show.
