PEARL SHEK

WHY HER? Pearl Shek might be petite, but her sassy attitude and entrepreneurial spirit are both forces to be reckoned with. A graduate of London’s Imperial Business School, she’s the beauty and brains behind popular Thai restaurant Apinara Hong Kong and one of the city’s smartest young businesswomen. You go, girl. MAJOR PLUS Her 11-year-old pug Yogi. He’s so cool he even has his own Instagram account. And probably more followers than you (more than 1,000 at the time of writing).
