Since her life-changing win, Park has built an impressive £3million net worth.
She has gained a strong following on Instagram and even appeared on popular US show Dr Phil.

Reports from 2021 suggest she spent around £50,000 on surgery including breast enhancement, a bum lift, liposuction, dental veneers, Botox, lip enhancements and fillers.
However, a Turkish bum lift procedure in 2017 nearly cost Park her life.
She was left fighting for survival due to suspected sepsis following the operation.
The experience prompted her to issue warnings to others about the dangers of cosmetic surgery abroad.

On US talk show Dr Phil, she admitted the cash has come with “stalkers and death threats”.
“You can be anonymous but you are encouraged to go public,” she explained. “I wish I’d never won it, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
Park doesn’t regret how she spent her money, but does regret the publicity.
“When I won it was a very quick turnover, it was massive. At the time it was kind of crazy, and it’s even crazier looking back.”
While quick to challenge critics online, Park has admitted her wealth left her feeling “bored” and “miserable”.
She told LadBible: “I remember my nana saying ‘It’s like giving a kid a gun in their hand and not telling them what to do with it’.”
