Christine Chiu has landed herself in the new hit Netflix reality show, Bling Empire. It follows a rich group of friends and socialites in LA so we're already itching to know if there will be a second season of Bling Empire.

Now one of Bling Empire's show producers, Christine has thanked to fans for helping them reach the top ten spot on Netflix.
