Lisa S. (born as Lisa Selesner on May 26, 1975[1]) is a Channel V veejay[2][3] and an international model based in Hong Kong.[4]
She was born in Monaco to Gary, a Jewish/Catholic American father, who is currently the president of Caesars Palace and to Peggy, a Jewish American mother, but grew up in New York where she was talent-scouted to be a model at age 14.[4]
S grew up in the United States.[4] She began modeling at age 14.[3] She shortened her Selesner surname to S because, she said, after moving to Hong Kong in 2000, 'no one could pronounce it'.[4] In Hong Kong she became a top model who lent her exotic looks to fashion catwalks and appeared in advertisements for brands like Citibank, De Beers diamonds, and Olay skincare.[4] She has been described as a "bewitching designer-clad international model."[3] She loves to travel.[3] She hosted a lifestyle programme on TV in Hong Kong.[3] She also starred in three Hong Kong movies: Silver Hawk (2004), Rob-B-Hood (2006) and A Mob Story (2007). She and her boyfriend have sometimes been involved in controversies where paparazzi photographers with telephoto lenses allegedly took pictures of them inside their home and published these pictures; one newspaper reported that they were "infuriated" over this invasion of privacy.[5]
On April 6, 2010, Lisa S. wed Daniel Wu in South Africa.[6]
She is the founder of the monthly beauty box subscription 'Glamabox' which is provided in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Singapore
