At 38, Liu Yifei remains one of China’s most iconic A-list stars. On August 25, during a birthday fan meeting in Sichuan, the actress—beloved as “Fairy Sister”—shared her simple wish: “I hope everyone can remain joyful, strong, and become better every day.”
Despite approaching 40, Liu Yifei stunned fans with her youthful look. Dressed in a short skirt, jacket, and knee-high boots, she radiated modern elegance and energy. Netizens even dubbed her “the beauty abandoned by time” after comparing photos of her from 2013 and 2024—showing barely any change except for a deeper maturity in her aura.
A Powerhouse in C-Entertainment
With 25 years in the industry, Liu Yifei has solidified her position as a top-tier actress. According to Sina, her commercial appeal is unmatched—she earns around 25 million RMB ($3.4 million) per endorsement contract. She is currently a global ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Tissot, and Shiseido, while also representing nearly 10 major Chinese brands, including Huawei and Meituan.
Her return to acting has been equally triumphant. From Disney’s Mulan to hit dramas like A Dream of Splendor (2022), Meet Yourself (2023), and The Tale of Rose (2024), every project has sparked massive online buzz and strong viewership.
A Fortune Beyond Imagination
Liu Yifei’s wealth doesn’t stop at acting. She has been labeled a “billionaire lady” by Chinese media, with an estimated net worth surpassing 1.23 billion RMB (over $600 million USD). Her earnings come from films, endorsements, events, and luxury brand deals.
During the filming of The Tale of Rose, co-star Wan Qian revealed Liu Yifei once paid the bill for the entire cast’s dinner, surprising everyone with her generosity.
- Acting fees: Up to 25 million RMB per role.
- Endorsements: Roughly 25 million RMB per contract.
- Global ambassador roles: Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Tissot, Shiseido, plus Abu Dhabi tourism since 2023.
Beyond finances, Liu Yifei is also a savvy investor. Her real estate portfolio includes properties in Beijing and the US. The crown jewel? A 16,700m² villa in Shunyi, Beijing, complete with gardens, a swimming pool, gym, sports courts, and 24/7 security.
Her car collection is equally dazzling, featuring a Porsche Cayenne S, Ferrari 458, Mercedes-Benz Jeep, and Rolls Royce Phantom.
A Quiet Life Behind Fame
Despite her immense fortune, Liu Yifei is known for her low-key lifestyle. She has been spotted buying affordable clothes and still keeps a red chair gifted by her mother during her early career in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (2003).
On social media, she prefers sharing behind-the-scenes shots, travel experiences, and endorsements rather than flaunting wealth. Locations from her dramas, such as Yunnan from Meet Yourself, have even become tourist hotspots thanks to her popularity.
Beyond fame, Liu Yifei is admired for her compassion. She currently cares for nearly 20 stray cats and frequently helps them find new homes.
Since her breakup with Korean actor Song Seung-heon in 2017, Liu Yifei has kept her romantic life private. Today, her world revolves around filming, brand work, and her beloved pets—making her a rare example of a superstar who balances luxury with simplicity.
