I too admired her, until I found out her family is connected to top officials in Ha Noi.

It's almost impossible if not totally impossible to be at the top of anything big, to achieve great success, or to be notable in this country without a connection in Hà Nội.  It's an unavoidable fact of life.

Toi ngac nhien. Nature abhors a vacuum.

My wife.

Check out the photo from Beach's link of the young lady sitting just a few feet away from a rhino.  This may be a tamed animal in a zoo, but rhinos are reputedly both very near sighted and very temperamental.  She seems very brave but also rather foolhardy.

"Her husband is Nguyen Thanh Hung, owner of Sovico Holdings . Sovico Holdings is holding a number of prominent brands in Vietnam, such as HDBank and Vietjet Air, and is the founder of VIB and Techcombank."

She's one of 2 billionaires ($dollars) in Vietnam and her husband isn't the other one.

Her and her husband were named in the Panama Papers.🤔
