Anna has acknowledged having four previous marriages and divorces. She asserts that she separated amicably from each of her husbands. There is no evidence of Anna engaging in a contentious divorce, thus her claim appears to be accurate. Anna has kept her four husbands’ identities a secret.
Kenny Kemp, Anna’s sole child, was the result of one of her relationships. In 2015, Kenny was mentioned in a BuzzFeed article about having a bong collection in his mother’s basement that was worth millions of dollars. He identified himself as a fervent stoner and the lone heir to her mother’s hundreds of millions of dollars.
Anna made a name for herself as the matriarch of the Bling Empire. She expressed her enjoyment of serving as the family’s advisor to The Oprah Magazine, particularly to her son and his friends. John said:
I’m here to ensure their safety. Kenny Kemp, my son, is 27. His pals frequently visit and seek my opinion. I’ve grown up among children because my mum raised me.
In Bling Empire, Anna was expecting to play a supporting role but ended up becoming the lead instead.
When Anna Shay decided to join Bling Empire, she had no idea what she was getting herself into.
She consented when her friend and the series executive producer Jeff Jenkins asked her to assist on the show, assuming she would work behind the scenes. Anna unexpectedly found herself in front of the camera when it was time to start filming.
