Karena Ng Denies Being a Gold Digger
It is hard for Karena Ng (吳千語) to shake off the gold digger label, which has followed her for years since she dated Raymond Lam (林峯) when she was 19 years old. It was rumored that when she was still dating Raymond, she often requested to go on international shopping trips to buy luxury bags, to eat at fancy restaurants, and to live in luxuriously–materialistic demands which overwhelmed Raymond. Her current relationship with wealthy businessman Brian Shi (施伯雄) is often gossiped about in the same manner. While Karena has a penchant for designer labels and enjoys taking luxury vacations with her boyfriends, she denies being a gold digger and is only attracted to men who are talented, smart, and good looking.
At a press conference for ViuTV’s new drama Iron Ladies <熟女強人>, Karena’s dating life overshadowed interest in her role in the drama. She joked that it has been a long time since she has been interviewed by the media and is having a hard time focusing. “I’m not sure why, but I feel so tired today. When being interviewed, you need to be on your feet thinking quickly. To be honest, it’s been awhile so I’m not used to it.”
As questions shifted towards the status of her relationship with Brian Shi, a wealthy third generation whose family has over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets, and whether the couple intends to get married, Karena took on a more serious tone. While it was said that Brian is preparing to propose to next year after purchasing a HK$30 million home in Clear Water Bay’s Mount Pavilia, the 26-year-old actress said she is still young and has plenty of time. She would like to think about marriage when she has gained more maturity. “At this point, I still haven’t figured out how to take care of myself! I’ll think about this later.”
Commenting on the gold digger allegations, Karena stated, “Well the truth is that I am working to earn money. If I were really a gold digger, I would have already married and stopped working. Why would I still need to do so many things? I want to have my own life. People often ask if I am going to marry or not, but I want to live for myself and not for someone else.”

Zzzzzzzzzz……yawn
I’m not familiar with this actress, but such a rude question! If the the other person is willing to give, who are we to name call them.
@sunnysun
Just because anyone is willing to give anything does not mean you have to take it.
i don’t understand why the media hates her so much. What’s wrong with being friends with the wealthy? Are people suppose to just befriend the poor and homeless to make you a decent person?
Never found her attractive nor understand her appeal. She always looks like a female version of Raymond Lam to me lol.
Do people call men shallow for dating pretty girls? Anyway maybe she has standard. She does have a lifestyle to support so she only dates men that fulfils those standards. Gold digger or not, girl wants, guy willing, most favourable exchange.
@funnlim
Yes people do and looking for wealthy men shows she is incapable so has to take from others to sustain her luxurious lifestyle which is a bit sad.
@funnlim I agree. From time immemorial, women have always been seeking security and resources. Even if they can find it themselves, they STILL look for someone richer and wealthier than them. It’s a big reason why wealthy women have a hard time dating and why they resent their partners if they make less than them or the men don’t provide. Of course, this is a generalization, and exceptions are rampant, but it’s natural for women to want to seek out affluent men. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing, but there are those who are indiscriminate with their selections of men with money (Michelle Reis, Isabella Leung, Richard Li’s current GF and lots more) who are distasteful. It feels like they attach to anyone who has money, and not because they genuinely like the other person.
never find her pretty i think she looks like a transgender the only reason why media is still on her is because she dated Raymond if she hasn’t been with him nobody will know who she is lol……
@sherla1019 yep and total trans vibe lol
@sherla1019
Very true and being Raymond Lam’s ex is the only way she is still known. Very sad indeed.
