From "popular singer" to "out-of-date singer", Lin Yilun seems to have disappeared in the entertainment circle for many years. But what many people don't know is that he is actually an invisible rich man in the circle. He not only has over 100 million assets, but also has a wide network of contacts. Wang Zhonglei and Hugh are his good friends.
Lin Yilun grew up in a village in Hebei. My father has a bad temper, so he was often beaten since he was a child, and even forgot how old he was for a long time.
/kloc-Joined the local cultural art troupe from the age of 0/5 and performed everywhere. In the league, he wears several hats, singing, playing guitar, dancing, and doing all the work he can.
1988, in order to find his own musical dream, he gave all the 4800 yuan he had saved over the years to his mother, and he came to Guangzhou with 800 yuan.
Lin Yilun, a newcomer with no background and knowledge, has a hard time. In order to save money, he cooks in the kitchen himself.
Later, I started singing in karaoke bars, and my income was still very small. He even ate instant noodles for nearly six months.
Just when he felt confused and helpless, a friend told him that "foreign countries can also make money." Egged on by his friends, Lin Yilun left Guangdong to seek gold abroad.
But before going abroad, he left himself a way out. It took him three months to get the third-class chef's certificate. Even if he can't find a good job, at least he still has a skill to make a living.
1990, 20-year-old Lin Yilun came to Bolivia.
Sure enough, when I arrived in Bolivia, I couldn't make a living just by singing, so I found a Chinese restaurant and became a chef.
It is not easy to be a cook. Every morning, he takes out two pots of beef and chicken to thaw, and then starts to cut vegetables. Once he finds that his fried rice with eggs is not clear enough, the boss will throw it in his face.
But it was also during this period that his cooking skills were greatly improved, and the chefs in the restaurant often told him some cooking skills.
Although Lin Yilun became a chef, he still likes singing very much. In the kitchen, he often sings while cutting vegetables.
He thought he would live like this all his life until he met a friend and woke him up.
At that time, a friend asked him to help introduce a job, so Lin Yilun arranged for him to do odd jobs in the kitchen. Once, my friend was distracted while working, and his hand was directly pressed under the dough press. Hearing his friend's screams, he quickly cut off the power and called an ambulance.
When he got on the bus, his friend looked at him and said:
This sentence was like a blow to Lin Yilun and woke him up.
After that, he returned to Guangzhou and continued to pursue his musical dream.
At that time, in order to go abroad, he was already in debt. I didn't expect that he not only didn't make any money, but also came back and didn't pay off his debts.
In order to pay back the money, he arranged his time to the full. Every day from 5: 00 p.m. to 1: 00 a.m. 1 p.m., he kept rushing to the scene. Lin Yilun lived like this for two years.
After the debt was paid off, he also ushered in a turning point in his life.
1993 met Zhang Quanfu, a music producer. On his recommendation, Lin Yilun signed a contract with a brokerage company.
At the end of the same year, Lin Yilun made his official debut with the album love birds. This album pushed him to the pinnacle of his career and made him a popular singer.
After that, several albums were released one after another, which was even more popular throughout the country.
After becoming popular, Lin Yilun also became a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala. From 1995, he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again and again.
In addition to being a singer, he also hosted programs, made movies, acted in plays and became an all-round artist.
The identity of the chef was not known until 2006, when Lin Yilun hosted a food program.
With excellent cooking skills, Lin Yilun became the king of connections in the entertainment circle.
In a variety show, Wang Han once said that Na Ying and Hugh, Lin Yilun's top circle of friends, are frequent visitors to his home. It's not that simple to eat his cooking, and you need to queue up for an appointment.
Wang Zhonglei and Zhang Chaoyang were impressed by his cooking and became good friends.
It is said that in order to drink his soup, Ceng Fanzhi even took the initiative to send paintings by phone, knowing that any of his paintings could fetch HK$ 7 million.
When Wang Zhonglei needed to cook for the show, he immediately called Lin Yilun and said that he wanted to learn cooking from him. Besides cooking, Lin Yilun has a good business sense.
In 20 14, he established his own gourmet brand and sold 30,000 bottles of Chili sauce in just two hours.
Investing in real estate and collecting famous paintings, his assets have already exceeded 100 million.
As early as the 1990s, he bought a building in a prime location in Beijing, and now it has multiplied several times. BiBi Zhou and Jay Chou are his tenants. After listening to his advice, friends who invested in real estate together also specially called to thank him.
And his private house is comparable to a museum.
From 65438 to 0999, Lin Yilun began to collect works of art and famous paintings. Until now, every collection at home is valuable.

There are many Liu Ye's paintings in Lin Yilun's home. In 20 13, his pair of "swords" was auctioned for 30 million.

His collection of The Last Supper by Ceng Fanzhi was sold for HK$ 654.38+0.8 billion.

Despite his successful career, Lin Yilun's life is very low-key.
His eldest son, Lin Zihao, is not only versatile, but also very educated. When he participated in the reality show, he also succeeded in making countless fans and was called the most obedient hero in the history of the show.
Lin Yilun's investment can achieve such a great success, which is inseparable from his wife Xihua.
After giving birth to her eldest son, Xihua became a full-time mother, tutoring her children. It was not until 2005 that she started her own company, signed her husband and arranged for him to be the host of the food festival. Only then did Lin Yilun's cooking show itself and made many friends.
Lin Yilun's investment philosophy is also deeply influenced by his wife.
In recent years, the labels of "chef" and "gourmet" in Lin Yilun have gradually overshadowed "singer". Although the dead singer no longer stands in the spotlight and enjoys everyone's gaze, he still lives as a winner in life.
