Mai Phương Thúy spends 120 billion VND on sky‑villa for sister

Former Miss Vietnam 2006 Mai Phương Thúy, known for her high‑profile investments, bought a luxury sky‑villa in Hanoi for her sister Mai Ngọc Phượng. The 400 m² unit on the 44th‑45th floors of a premium tower cost about 120 billion VND and includes a private lift and lobby. Earlier she gifted the sister an 8 billion VND Mercedes‑Benz.

Thúy has also drawn attention for sizable stock‑market moves, such as purchasing one million shares valued at over 21 billion VND in April 2025. While she has stepped back from show‑business, her birthday on 6 August, turning 38, and recent fashion appearances – including a gray suit and a 1.3 billion VND Hublot watch – have kept her in the public eye. Past interviews resurfaced, noting a 2011 encounter with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and a 2015 statement that she “extremely dislikes” Lionel Messi.
