After moving to Los Angeles, California, she skipped 4th and 5th grade and enrolled directly in middle school. Au attended Virgil Middle School, where she participated in cheerleading and track. She later attended Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School and graduated at 16. During high school, Au also completed a Dental Assistant program.
In 9th grade, she took Folklórico as an elective and later joined Dances of the World, performing for three years. Au briefly attended Santa Monica College but left after a semester.
Career and philanthropy
[edit]Au has been working as a real estate agent at Keller Williams Realty since 2016. She previously served as the president of HQ Empire between 2015 and 2019, overseeing virtual real estate projects, web marketing, and brand development. Before that, Au founded I For Inc in 2012 and managed the company until 2015.
Au has been involved in different philanthropic activities, focusing on disaster relief, children's welfare, and education. Since 2006, Au has been a donor to the American Red Cross. She has volunteered with organizations such as Feed the Children, Make-A-Wish America, and the YMCA, where Au worked as a tutor. Since 2015, she has been a sponsor for Compassion International, supporting programs that provide education and essential resources to underprivileged children.
Personal life and legal issues
[edit]Au has two daughters with her ex-husband, Paul, with whom she was in a 14-year relationship. She later had a six-year relationship with cryptocurrency investor Adam Iza before meeting Davide Sanclimenti. In early 2025, she and Sanclimenti publicly confirmed their relationship.
She was linked to a legal case involving her ex-boyfriend, Adam Iza, who pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges. Au admitted to not reporting over $2.6 million in income from his illegal activities between 2020 and 2023. Since Adam Iza has been labeled as “The Godfather of Cryptocurrency,” Au is referred to as "The Goddess" by the prosecutors in her plea agreement.[1][2][3]
