Meet Tzu Chi, dubbed the “billionaire socialite daughter-in-law” after marrying the son of one of Hong Kong’s wealthiest tycoons.
Born in 1982 to a middle-class family in Hong Kong, Tzu Chi moved to Australia with her family at the age of five. Despite not being from an elite background, her parents provided a comfortable upbringing, treating her like a cherished “little princess.”
However, this pampering came with a clear agenda from her mother, Peng Lei Fang: to groom her daughter to marry into immense wealth and secure a life of luxury.
Tzu Chi’s education was tailored to fit the upper-class standards. From kindergarten through high school, she attended international schools. Beyond academics, she was trained in skills like horseback riding, playing musical instruments, and mastering social etiquette—all to seamlessly blend into high society circles.
From a young age, she was meticulously groomed to marry a wealthy man.
At 14, her striking beauty and height caught the attention of Elite Model Management. Her innocent and graceful charm quickly made her a standout in the entertainment industry. However, her mother saw showbiz not as a career path but as a stepping stone to upper-class connections.
Peng Lei Fang tightly controlled her daughter’s career: no provocative photos, no intimate scenes with male actors, and a pristine public image. Tzu Chi briefly ventured into acting, appearing in the film *Teaching Sucks*, but her acting career was short-lived and left little impact.

Soon, Tzu Chi stepped away from the spotlight, focusing instead on her true goal: a life of luxury. Her life changed when she met Li Jia Cheng, son of real estate tycoon Li Zhao Ji, one of Hong Kong’s richest men. Their 2006 wedding was a lavish affair, costing an estimated HKD 700 million (approximately USD 90 million).
However, this opulent life came with immense pressure. Over eight years, Tzu Chi gave birth to four children for the Li family, earning her the controversial nickname “the upper-class baby machine.” In return, her father-in-law reportedly rewarded her with HKD 4 billion after each childbirth.
Her wedding cost a staggering USD 90 million.
She married the billionaire’s son and gave birth to four children—two boys and two girls.
She was dubbed “the Li family’s baby machine” or “the upper-class baby machine.”
Today, Tzu Chi has largely withdrawn from the entertainment industry, focusing on her family, raising her four children, and participating in high-society events. In her 40s, she maintains a remarkably youthful appearance. Her smooth skin, slender figure, and elegant demeanor make it hard to believe she’s a mother of four.
Despite owning expensive skincare products, her beauty secrets lie in a disciplined lifestyle and a scientific diet.
Eating Fruit on an Empty Stomach
Tzu Chi eats fruit before meals. She believes that while fruits are rich in vitamins, they also contain high sugar levels. Eating them after a main meal can cause them to remain in the body longer. Thus, she eats fruit on an empty stomach for better absorption and digestion.

Drinking Vegetable Juice in the Morning
Her mornings begin with fruit or vegetable juice. “The first thing I eat after waking up is fruit, as eating fruit early is better. First, it allows vitamin absorption, and second, I believe in eating fruit before meals.
Since fruits contain a lot of sugar, leaving them in the stomach for too long isn’t beneficial. So, it’s best to eat fruit on an empty stomach, allowing the body to digest and absorb vitamins before other foods,” she shares. This method provides vitamins, minerals, and saves time on food preparation.
Prioritizing Gut-Friendly Foods
When eating yogurt in the morning, she adds chia seeds for satiety. Occasionally, she includes pomegranate seeds, believing they detoxify the body. Tzu Chi values gut health, as a healthy gut boosts immunity and improves skin. A healthy gut means clear, acne-free skin.
Tzu Chi relies not only on expensive cosmetics but also on a healthy diet to maintain her figure and combat aging.
Choosing Whole Grains Over White Rice
She limits white rice, believing it contains too much sugar. Instead, she mixes brown rice with quinoa for extra fiber and longer-lasting satiety.
Despite her disciplined diet, Tzu Chi isn’t overly strict. Gary, her makeup artist of over 20 years, reveals she frequently visits cafes and enjoys her favorite treats. Only a week before major events does she start dieting to maintain her figure.
According to Gary, Tzu Chi’s secret to staying young is simple: eating joyfully and maintaining a positive mindset. When one lives happily and contentedly, radiance naturally shines through.
