Early life and education
Jamie Chua was born on October 24, 1993 in Singapore. She is the eldest of three siblings. Her father is a travel agent, while her mother is a housewife.
As she grew up, her family struggled financially. She started living a lavish lifestyle much later and is now famous for it. Jamie Chua started modelling at the age of 15 while studying at CHIJ (Toa Payoh).
Jamie Chua majored in business management at university and graduated with honors from NUS. However, instead of going into the workforce like many other graduates, she continued to pursue a modelling career.
Personal life
While working as a flight attendant on a Singapore Airlines flight in business class, Jamie Chua met Nurdian Cuaca. Nurdian Cuaca was just a worker at a company at the time of their marriage; he was not yet a millionaire.
Jamie Chua revealed in an interview that her husband struggled for ten years before becoming wealthy. The couple had their first child, named Cleveland Cuaca, in 1995. Three years later, they saw the birth of their second child, Calista Cuaca.
After being married for more than 15 years, Jamie Chua filed for divorce in February 2010. She claimed that the grounds for the divorce were “unreasonable conduct”. Nurdian Cuaca countersued for divorce on her own grounds (including “unreasonable conduct”) after objecting to her grounds.
Since Jamie Chua’s marriage hit a rough patch, there have been rumours that she is dating Terence Koh.
Career
Jamie Chua started modeling when she was 15. Because it was “the highest paying part-time job she could get as a high school student,” she chose modeling over other jobs.
She had to enroll in Mannequin Studio and pay about $800 in tuition to become a licensed professional model. Her parents initially thought it was a waste of money, but eventually agreed to lend her the money.
Jamie Chua spent most of her after-school time over the next two years training and modeling for commercials and photo shoots. Eventually, she earned enough money to buy her first luxury item, a $2,000 Chanel bag, and repay her parents.
Jamie Chua started working for Singapore Airlines (SIA) as a flight attendant when she was 17. She worked as a pilot for three years and met her ex-husband Nurdian Cuaca while they were in the air.
Her time as a flight attendant ended when she married Nurdian Cuaca, an Indonesian businessman who later became a millionaire.
Jamie Chua claims that whenever she sees an item she likes, she buys it in every color available. She has about 300 pairs of shoes in addition to her purse collection.
These shoes typically cost $1,500 a pair. Her cheapest pair of sneakers cost $795. She also owns a $27,000 Rami Kadi dress, a $19,000 Gucci fox fur coat, and multiple Chanel coats that cost $8,899.
