Jeanette Aw: The new millionaire?
by Kwok Kar Peng

SINGAPORE - Has Jeanette Aw found her pot of gold?

The popular local actress recently collaborated with US company Precious Moments and designed a figurine that depicted a girl colouring a rainbow.

Aw reportedly received a five-figure sum for her You Color My World porcelain doll.

The 33-year-old donated the amount to charity.

Getting extra pay cheques seems to be the norm for the star of The Little Nyonya fame.

Aw has enjoyed a great year so far, and is on a high on both her career and financial fronts.

She reportedly received another five-figure sum for her first movie, the Malaysian film Ping Ping An An (Safe And Sound in English).

Aw has also become the queen of endorsements here, with five products under her belt.

She was appointed as the new face for Olay Regenerist facial cream earlier this month.

She's also a spokesman for SK 999 Pure Gold Jewellery, Owl coffee products and New Moon abalone and rice.

Exclusive club

Has the actress joined the million-dollar club long dominated by veteran Caldecott kings and queens?

Local Chinese paper Shin Min Daily News reported that Aw would have received close to a seven-figure sum for her four endorsements.

This figure excludes her latest deal with Olay.

However, Aw remains tight-lipped about her additional source of income.

She also sat on the fence about being a millionaire when The New Paper quizzed her.

"I usually decline to state the figure I receive for my endorsements," Aw told us.

"And I still leave that open to everyone to guess, no affirmative and no clues on my end. Same with whether I'm a millionaire or not."

She cheekily thanked us for "showing such interest on (her) financial assets", but said she has always been private when it comes to her personal issues.

Aw, who owns a condominium unit, added she's not a big investor in property and doesn't hold many title deeds.

Neither does she invest in stocks and shares.
