In a recent episode of Bonkers Closets, it was revealed that Miss Chua has a 700-square-foot closet (that’s 65 sqm) that holds her collection of over 200 Hermès bags.
And over 300 pairs of shoes! Wait a few minutes for that to sink in…
For the info, Bonkers Closets is a video series that showcases the most extravagant closets from all over the world.
And did we mention that Jamie’s closet is protected by fingerprint access?
Meanwhile, Jamie Chua has this to say about her closet filled with hundreds of jackets, gowns and dresses: “It’s still not enough for me. I need more closet space.”
2. Jamie owns more than 200 Hermès bags
An Hermès bag can cost between $8,000 and $300,000. And Jamie Chua owns more than 200 of them!
Among them is a bag custom-made for her with Indian embroidery. And also an Hermès “Mini Pochette” worth $11,800, which Jamie calls “useless.”
“You can’t put anything in them…except for a credit card and a piece of tissue,” she declares.

Her most prized possession, though, is her “diamond bag,” which is the first thing she would grab in the (unlikely) “event of a fire.”
“I would head straight to Christie’s with it, because I know they are eyeing it,” she says.
Why? Because it is a “Himalayan Crocodile Birkin” with white gold detailing and 245 diamonds. It is one of the most expensive Birkin bags in the world!
Although Jamie has other designer handbags, Hermes classics the Birkin and the Kelly are clearly her favourites!
No matter what the outfit or occasion, Jamie has the Hermes bag to match. Birkin and Kelly bags can be ordered in a variety of sizes and materials which all affect the price and the length of time you need to wait for your order.
Starting from over $7000 USD (Kelly) and over $9000 USD (Birkin) and going well into six-figure sums, these Hermes classics are the ultimate status symbol.
3. Chua has a 30 kg gown

So, Jamie owns more than 300 pairs of shoes that cost an average of $1,500 per pair. On a normal day, she says she likes to wear her sneakers (which cost over $1,000 by the way).
She shows off her “Louboutin Spiked Heels,” which she says are “not for the faint-hearted.” She has even got hurt and has bled wearing them! If you’d like to know, they cost $3,495 only.

We’d think that this 44-year-old (who can give a twenty-something a run for her money) must be exercising like crazy. But Chua reveals, “I don’t go to the gym at all… I have never been to a gym in my life!”

Apparently, Chua spends around $14,000 to look good. That includes weekly massages, facials, as well as slimming and hair treatments.
But in a recent interview, she reveals, “My facials, body, and hair treatments are now taken care of by my various endorsements.”
“I also have a lovely friend who makes me the best cleansers and facial products using only pure essential oils. Therefore, I don’t actually spend that much money on beauty anymore.”
8. Jamie Chua uses a S$1.50 eyebrow pencil
Aha! After all that extravagance, we bet you weren’t ready for this last one!
Can you imagine someone like Jamie Chua shopping at Watsons?
Jamie recently told Daily Vanity, “I think there are many great products in the drugstores. I buy my mascara and eyeliners from places like Watsons.”
“I use an SGD 1.50 eyebrow pencil to fill in my brows when my eyebrow embroidery is just due for touch-ups.”
