Chinese-French mixed-race beauty Karena Ng is being hailed by the media as a woman who has truly “changed her fate” after marrying billionaire heir Brian Sze, a third-generation tycoon from one of Hong Kong’s most powerful business families.

According to HK01, since tying the knot, Karena Ng has successfully entered high society, earning the title of a “hundred-billion-dong daughter-in-law.” She frequently appears at elite social gatherings, luxury brand events, and international fashion shows, and has graced the covers of several magazines. In October, she was officially announced as the spokesperson for the fashion brand Annandelman, promoting its “urban avant-garde” style.

From Billionaire’s Wife to Business Powerhouse

Despite marrying into immense wealth, Karena Ng has not chosen a life of leisure. In recent years, she has been highly active on mainland Chinese social media platforms, regularly sharing beauty tips and glimpses of her daily life. Starting in early 2025, she expanded into livestream e-commerce, quickly proving her sharp business instincts.

Her first livestream sales session in September reportedly achieved a record GMV (gross merchandise value) of 70 million yuan. Her second livestream, held recently, was even more explosive, surpassing 150 million yuan in total revenue. For this event, Karena Ng invited celebrities such as Ma Tianyu, Charmaine Sheh, and Yvonne Ching to join, while her husband Brian Sze also appeared on screen to show his support.

During the livestream, which ran from 3 p.m. until 2 a.m. the next day, Karena Ng and her team promoted skincare products while sharing personal beauty routines. In just the first hour, sales hit 30 million yuan, with 220,000 products sold and more than 1.64 million total viewers. At its peak, the livestream attracted 35,000 simultaneous viewers.

This overwhelming success propelled Karena Ng to the top of Xiaohongshu’s daily seller rankings, earning her media nicknames such as “The New-Generation Revenue Queen” and “A Symbol of Hong Kong Women’s Success.” Netizens praised her calm demeanor, natural charm, tall and elegant figure, and lively personality.

Confidence Fueled by Marriage but Identity Intact

Many viewers believe Karena Ng’s marriage has transformed her life, helping her shift from a supporting actress to a confident “female lead” in real life. Previously, she was best known for secondary roles in TVB dramas, with a career that failed to stand out.

In interviews, Karena Ng openly acknowledges that marriage has brought changes but insists she has not lost herself. She rejects the idea of being confined to the roles of a “good wife” or “ideal mother,” emphasizing her philosophy: “First, be yourself. Then take on other roles.”

Fans and commentators alike believe her current marriage has nurtured her confidence, allowing her to step into a stronger, more independent version of herself.

Background and Personal Life

Karena Ng, often called a “mixed-race rose” due to her Chinese–French heritage, entered Hong Kong’s entertainment industry in 2010 as a model and actress. Her notable works include Magic to Win, Bounty Hunters, and Ip Man.

Before marrying Brian Sze in 2024, she was in a high-profile five-year relationship with Hong Kong star Raymond Lam, which ended in 2018.

Brian Sze comes from an influential business dynasty and studied business administration at George Washington University in the United States. He is the grandson of Shi Ziqing, a former member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. The Shi family’s fortune, largely built on real estate, is estimated to be worth billions of Hong Kong dollars.

Today, Karena Ng stands as a striking example of a woman who has successfully blended love, ambition, and self-identity rewriting her own destiny in the spotlight.
