Bling Empire shifts the focus a little bit, to a group of Asian-Americans in and around Los Angeles.

Reality television has long had a fascination with some factions of the extremely rich. Bling Empire shifts the focus a little bit, to a group of Asian-Americans in and around Los Angeles. Executive produced by Jeff Jenkins, who also worked on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Bling Empire definitely shares a lot of that DNA while asking where the show falls on the scale of Asian-American representation.

The audio was produced by Candice Lim and edited by Jessica Reedy.
