Cambodian TV Hostess Chan Sopheany: I will only marry a man who has $1 million

Everyday.com.kh
Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Chan Sopheany, the TV hostess of Channel 5 belonging the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, made a public declaration that any man who wants to marry her must have US $1 million. Chan Sopheany told the Angkor Thom magazine that her declaration does not mean that she does not want to get married, to the contrary, she wants to get married just like any other stars, however, no men dare getting married with her because her conditions are too high. She admitted that: “To tell you the truth, it’s only when I become a rich woman with $1 million in the bank account that I agree to get married, and the man I will marry must have $1 million like me also. As a woman of my age, with my kind of wealth, with education that nobody can take away from me, why should I worry with insignificant men?”

If a man had amillion dollars, he would find a Hot looking chick, not her! As far as Asiabn chicks go, she is pretty lowon the scale. I have had cleaning ladys at my hotels in Phnom Penh that look better than her. Maybe she is right, she does need a million dollars of her own!!

Huh!! ;-) asking for a million dollar just to marry her and she look like that? But one good thing is that she has education, I'm glad she got that. But what type of education does she have? and Where is she going to get that 1 million of USD in a poor country unless she has to join corruption or does business on the side? Oh may be she invests.
Eh good, investment is the best.

Well I hope your wishes will come true Sopheany.

hehehehe... $1 million USD.

She slightly might reach her goal if she accepted to be the 2nd, 3rd, 4th....Nnd wife of a millionnaire!!! With her condition, she will never have official marriage!!!

1 million dollars!! Woww...What Fucking you are dreaming, Sopheany? I think if man with millions of dollars, they won't look at her at all. Spheany, Turn home then look front of the mirror..how beautiful your face! Thinking what you're saying. If you have already 1 million dollar, What is your bussiness!!Such only TV Hottess. What degree of your education that nobody can take it away.

What's funny story i heard today.
Real love is money????
Wish you met s.o soon. ahahh...i'm waiting to see is a real or not..

This is a stupid declaration by a so called Cambodian Star. Only a dumb ass will give her 1 Million to sleep with her. Why 1, not 2,3 or 10?
This girl already brings herself down.
If she gets fired today, she will be nothing she'll will beg for anything.
I say she has the look but not the brain.

Chan Sopheany, please my dear don't set yourself into these kind of condictions. Relationship is not so much about money. It is more about love and compassion.They are so millioniar coupls not happy with their marriage. Money along does not secure your happy life. May be is it better to think "grow as you go".

I knew a few Khmer girls used say just like you. And you know how they are now? Divorced and raising a few kids by themself. Plus these girls refused to get marry with Khmer man.



Not a Smart thing to say at all!

Well, she sure caused an uproar with her remarks. See, this way she gets all the attention - this is nothing but a good PR gimmick. The best way to counter this is to just ignore her. She will fade from the public eye in no time.

Well well well! Chan Sopheany, are you a gold digger or bigger than gold? You want you to marry to a million dollar man. Sure,it is not just you that want to have husband with a million dollars, Millions women around the world want the same. But they never set conditional like you.

You claimed that "my kind of wealth with education that no body can take away from me, why should I worry with insignificant men?" I don't have $1 Million USD like you but I can prove that I am far superior than you are. For Education, let say you finished University(but I don't think you Finished University). I can prove that you can't compare your Education with mine. I have wide range and several Edudcation, you name it from Khmer,Western cultures, Science and Technology.......up to Philosophy.

I am a good looking guy who is living in Canada. I am handsome with athletic build, I pay sport and training. Several people called me a beautiful man(Brose Sa Oard),but I never think I am the best. I always put myself low and hilping people who are poor and low education.

Your look is not beautiful like you thouth, but your beauty is an average girl. I am looking for Cambodian girl to get married but your look and atitude don't have a chance. I had several Cambodian girls who are very beautiful asking me to marry them and they didn't ask me for $ 1 Million dollars. They told me that I am sweet, a nice man, and good looking. So if you are a nice woman, you will have a nice husband. But if you are a gold digger or a gold bigger, you will get raped by Hun Sen government officials.
If you want to get million dollars why don't marry to Criminal Hun Sen and Hok Landy?
There are many Cambodian Karaoke Actresses who are more beautiful than you.

Com' on people. It must be something is being hidden in her affidivit/declaration. It is just like a bait of KI to test the public how many would react to this kind of Posting. The flies love rotten food and whereas the bees love flower, and I think she is very smart/cleaver to get all attentions, either bad or good from the public, she sure gets a full attention. More famous to her.

This is to 10:51 PM from Canada. You said you are far more superior than her..and bla bli blu.. :-)
I'm sorry to tell you this. You aren't far superior than her or than any body besides your own bedroom, and you an't handsome either. Read your comment again, do you think you are better than her the way you expressed yourself? Boooooo....

I knew because I have many Khmer friends who went to schools in Japan, S. Korea, Russia, Singapore, France, German, US, Canada, etc.. and they are not what you think my friend. They have degrees some Phd, JD of Law (Juris Doctor), Engineers & Computer Scientists, etc.. Although not many but they do have highly educated people.

Just because they are studying in Cambodia, don't think that their education is nothing, my friend. Many of them are smarter and more brilliant than what you think.

I come to think again that Sopheany is not only very cleaver, she is an intelligent woman who knows her way how to catch the fish.

You will never know she could attract the foreign Media (CNN, ABS..BBC) who knows?

It is not about her asking for $1M it is about how she can attrack more viewers to watch her Show.

This is to 11:06 PM, the Yuan who is full of xtreme hatred and racist toward Khmer people. You are a jerk and idiot. I bet you are the ugliest Yuan ever.


GO Sopheany Go!! You get my full VOTE from the USA. I respect your advocacy. I hope you will be chosen by the CNN in the US.

To be honest, she can't be compared to one of AV stars. If anyone knows Sophany, please tell her that I will show her how beautiful Japanese p0rn stars are.

Now, I will have the TV owner fired her for a million dollars. How about that?

Anonymous said...

she's going to be regreted big time for say this. Now no one will even dare to approach her. Her standard is set too high, and I think she is dump..by declaring this. If she smart with all that education that she claim to have. She know better what not to declare to public like this. Now one average man would dare to approach her. The will stay away knowing that they won't have a chance. She will regret, because she'll get old and gray and she'll missing out Big time. She will never learn the meaning of real true love. What an attitude you have woman. Even I am poor, I won't look at you with this type of attitude. I think it's stink. You have a very poor judgement. I feel sorry for you.

Why are these ignorant posters keep bashing Sopheany?

Do you all think it is real? It is the way she attracts the viewers to watch her Show that's it.

I get to say she is very smart/brilliant woman.

There isn't anything wrong to have a high expectation. More Khmer should set higher expectation to better themslves and their country. It's also not just about look, but the confident that you have within yourslef. Why do you think more Vietnamese/Indian/Phillipine tend to end up with more well to do white men when they chose to marry outside of their own country men and more Khmer women end up with white trash and black. It's not that Khmer women are any less beautiful than the gook/Indian/Phillipine, etc.., but it's becasue more Khmer women lack the knowledge and self-confident within themselves. I just hope that Chan Sopheany will make her million the old fashion way - that she earn it in an honest way.

^ I think the article is missing good clarification. It is very difficult to interpret from Khmer to English at times, perhaps this celebrity meant something else otherwise it is weird if she is marrying for money. The celebrity probably wants a man with the same net worth or income so that their relationship is healthy. Imagine if she married a man who is not smart with money, he could take all her wealth and trash it. This would be a bad relationship, and if she had a man richer or at least at the same level of income as she has, they are probably feasible with each other economically and in interests.

Moi28, do u really think it is the way to attract more people to watch her show or something like that? Even she wants to be famous, she should have chosen the positive declaration to attract attention, not this one. If not being famous by doing good things, why not just choose to live simply as normal people? Even though she may feel so regarding the future husband that has US 1 million dollar, she should have kept it to herself. By declaring something like that, it only proves to the surroudings that she is going to sell her love in the future and it is not smart to do so. From the context of our Cambodian culture, it is not given any value at all.

I am sorry. I don't mean to harm or criticize anyone, I just want to express my idea that such declaration is not right!

Whatever, hope she would end up good by making use of the education she claimed to possess. Hmm...

she claimed to have wealth and education..why in need of more money..and education..what kind of education, TV HOSTESS..what can u do with that if u were to have someone in usa marrying to you. Education in Srok Khmer is nothing compare to what they got here in usa..and your looks..some of those kareoke stars looked way better than her!

Chan Sopheany,

I can borrow Bank of America for 1 million to marry you. After I made love to you, I will ask you for your 1 million dollar debt that I borrowed from B of A. Your private part worth 1 million dollars but your breast and face worth only $100. I need to close my eyes to get to honeymoon with you.

Good luck a million girl for your future husband.

Poor little rich woman,
I am so very sad to see a khmer woman who can only see a million dollar is a ticket for her happiness in life. May be this is the way of life in Phnom Penh these days however her pricing for herself is reflecting her level of morality despite she wishes for education. One can only ask what type of education she's sought, perhaps to be like her role model PM who has just been graduated from SALACHHORTEAN!!! I sincerely hope you'll find your dream millionaire groom and hope against hope that non of the candidate are from the HUN.

Oh may be it's a new standard for Khmer Women. This is 2007. At least she tell you what she wants.

500 years ago Done Phan( neang Tev's mother) try to change her daughter's mental state by direct her thinking toward King and not Tum. It didn't work. May be now that young lady thought different and perhaps Done Phan's idea wasn't bad at all to her....
