Despite the drama, Anna and Christine are more alike than they are different, as they come from similar backgrounds, Both were born into wealth and share the same luxurious lifestyle. The two women have been wealthy their whole lives, as Anna’s father owned a successful weapons business, which was left to Anna and her brother, who decided to sell it. Christine’s wealth also comes from her family, although having a successful Los Angeles plastic surgeon as a husband surely contributes to her net worth. In Bling Empire season 2 episode 1, Christine explains in a conversation with Anna, “I didn’t want to take my parents’ money,” showing that despite their ultra-rich lifestyles, the two do have some humble moments.

On top of being born into wealth, Anna and Christine also live very similar lifestyles. Viewers know that they share the same group of friends, and are often at the same social events. Both Anna and Christine have a strong sense of family, with Anna’s son Kenny Kemp making the occasional appearance on the series, as Christine showcases her relationship with her husband, Dr. Gabriel Chiu, and their son, Baby G. The women also share an interest in guns, as it is known that Anna has guns both that she uses sometimes, and other firearms that are decorations in her home. Even Christine has been seen at the gun range, sporting a high fashion look.
