Timeline

1955

Shay was an heiress to Pacific Architects and Engineers (PAE), the leading global defense and government services contractor; which her father founded in September 1955.

1961

Anna Erika Shay (January 30, 1961 – June 1, 2023) was an American socialite, businesswoman and television personality.

She was a cast member on Netflix's reality television series Bling Empire.

Anna Erika Shay was born in Tokyo, Japan, on January 30, 1961, as the elder of two children to Edward Shay, an American businessman, and Ai Oizumi Shay, a Japanese-Russian businesswoman who came from Russian aristocracy.

Her younger brother was Allen Shay.

Her older half-brother from her mother's first marriage was Jun Oizumi.

1968

Shay and her family moved from Japan to Hancock Park, Los Angeles in 1968.

Her mother had bought her a pet pocket monkey of an unknown gender from a Japanese department store while she was growing up.

She had taken the primate with her on a Pan Am flight to the United States; worried that authorities might not allow her to take her pet, she dressed it in clothes and claimed it to be her sister.

Unbeknownst to Shay, her father had arranged everything in advance so the airline attendants allowed the monkey to stay.

Shay graduated from the Buckley School, a private school in Sherman Oaks.

She attended the University of Southern California, a private research university in Los Angeles, amongst other colleges.

Shay dedicated her talents to the arts after graduating from college, specifically towards the music and film industry.

Shay was accompanied by security guards in her youth.

She had a habit of often evading her guards, resulting in the immediate termination of their employment.

Her father had auditioned new employees, testing them specifically to see if they could ensure her absolute safety.

Shay doubled her security team and was accompanied at all times after her father's death, including at her vast estate.

She had continued her tradition of evading her guards in her later years.

Shay was expected not to work while her parents were still alive.

She had once said: "My father really, really never wanted me to have a job."

1993

Shay's marriage to Kenneth John Kemp, a third generation firefighter with the LAFD, lasted three years and resulted in the birth of her only son, Kenneth Edward "Kenny" Shay-Kemp, on October 5, 1993.

She had raised her son as a single mother after the couple divorced.

Her legal name during this marriage was Anna Erika Kemp, later switching back to Shay.

2006

She, along with her younger brother, Allen - who assumed control of PAE following the death of their father - sold the company to Lockheed Martin on August 16, 2006, in an all-cash $1.2 billion deal.

Shay was a trained licensed contractor.

Shay made her television debut on January 15, 2021, as a cast member on the Netflix reality television series Bling Empire.

She was often named a breakout star and quickly became a fan-favorite.

When Jeff Jenkins, the show's executive producer, approached her with the opportunity to join the cast, Shay thought she was being asked to help in a behind-the-scenes consultant capacity.

She forgot to cash her paycheck from Netflix for the first season.

The second season was released on May 13, 2022.

The third season was released on October 5, 2022.

The series was cancelled on April 19, 2023.

She appeared in 22 episodes.

Shay had devoted a keen interest in philanthropy.

She had previously served as a board member for the George Lopez Foundation; raising awareness about kidney disease and organ donation.

Shay was known for keeping her personal life extremely low-profile.

Speaking on her privacy, Jeff Jenkins, a friend of hers, once said: "It was held as high value in the family to be private .. She'll tell you the three most important people in her life are her mom and dad and her son. Well, her mom and dad are passed now, so maybe that gives her just a little bit of a feeling of their blessing to share her life."

2010

Shay had worked for the Edward A And Ai O Shay Family Foundation since its formation, a non-profit founded by her mother in 2010; focusing on education, arts, performing arts, and music.

2015

He was described as the "sole heir to hundreds of millions of dollars and a passionate stoner" who is the owner of a cannabis paraphernalia collection worth half-a-million dollars, which he kept in the basement of her former home in a vault originally designed to be a wine cellar.
