Lifestyle and career of Lai Van Sam
Overview
Vietnamese television presenter Lai Van Sam has been noted for his modest lifestyle and his professional transition following retirement from VTV.
Despite a 30-year career hosting major programs like ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’, Sam resides in a simple, unpretentious three-story house in Hanoi. He previously shared that his family lived in very cramped conditions for 11 years after his return from Russia.
Since his official retirement on July 1, 2017, Sam has reported an increase in income. He has maintained a busy schedule traveling between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, noting that his retirement has allowed him to proactively select shows of interest. He stated, “The biggest change is probably more shows, higher income.”
