Lin Chi-ling in financial difficulties?
Recent rumour has it that Lin Chi-ling's brother's
cosmetic business has recently run into financial problems and is
now in debt.
To show support for her family, Lin did not just invest money in
her brother's cosmetic business but also endorsed the products.
Unfortunately, the NT$50million (about S$2.5million) she forked out
was unable to save her brother's business. The distribution rights
of the cosmetics will be withdrawn in June.
Taiwanese media exposed that Lin previously accepted the
financial aid of Jerry Yan, the model-turned-actor whom she had
dated for four years.
Though Yan is known to be frugal, he is very generous to his
girlfriend and friends. He initiated to help his then-girlfriend
when he learnt that they were in dire financial straits. Being a
high grossing celebrity, Yan forked out millions every year,
between 2002 and 2006, to help the Lin family clear their debt and
even gave her a luxury car.
The couple broke up later after Lin became famous and too busy
to maintain the relationship.
Neither party was available to comment about the report but
Lin's mother rebutted furiously, saying that her family is not
facing any financial difficulty and her daughter does not need to
contribute to the family.
She added, "Jerry Yan has no special relationship with our
family, why would there by any monetary flow between us?"
With regards to Lin's rumoured relationship with businessman Qiu
Shikai, Lin's mother said that both Lin's and Qiu's businesses are
on par and they never depended on outsiders to eliminate their
debt. Neither is Lin Chi-ling after the Qiu family assets.
