- Los Angeles boasts the most donut shops in the country. It started when a man named Ted Ngoy came to California in 1975 as a refugee from Cambodia. Within three years he became a millionaire, creating his own chain of donut shops across the city. A new documentary, “The Donut King” tells the story of how he achieved his American Dream and then lost it all. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more. #InsideEdition
Imagine being called the “Donut King” what an accomplishment
This man was already successful in Cambodia and came to this country very rich. Don’t be fooled by the war torn country he was one of the elites. Do some research Before being so gullible to whatever the news says
UniversalChat Chat they didn't say anything wrong there saying that even if he was rich being called donut king is an honor. Plus the man came with thousands of dollars only
@@cookie_lover8694 He didn’t he came with more it just made the story look better for him to say he came with that. And with inflation couple of thousands mean a lot more
Yes its an American dream
@@unvcht5046 shut up and let the man enjoy his donut crown
Imagine moving to the USA, having nothing to start with, and becoming a millionaire as well as employing fellow immigrants let alone house them!
This man is legend doing great work that our own government cant help with lil things like this to help people
And dodging taxes and whatnot..Probably never even bothered to become a legal citizen.
You realize what he did was illegal right? Had he had to go about things differently the outcome would probably also change.

I have always lived in the USA
Donut King: Comes to America. Makes $20 Million.
Las Vegas Casinos: “Nice to meet you buddy. C’mon inside and have a little fun.”
😂
👌
@@J8Ngg 😂😂😅😅
Yep
I don’t get it, I’m Asian
I’m Cambodian and this is very amazing. Some Cambodians don’t have much, like this man. He started off with nothing to millions. That is true hard work.
Me too I’m Cambodian
This guy really achieved the American dream.
by gamble away all his life saving and achievement in the casino run by crooks?😯🤔😱😱😱😱
He lost everything! I don’t think that’s a good dream
@@infinityandbeyond9497 woahh 😳🥵😱😰😥😱🤥😨 how did you know the Casino was ran by crooks😨😥😰😤😥😢🤯😤😱😢😨😱😱😥😥😰😨

@@envysilence85 even the government is run by crooks
Of course gambling had to ruin his success. We hear that story way too often.

It wasn’t gambling, it was greed. Gambling was just the outward expression.
@@unvcht5046 this is a complete lie
First we got “Tiger King”
Now we have “Donut King”
Atleast one of them had an happy ending
There's also Lion King which had a happy ending!😁
@@joshualowe959 simba had a baby with his cousin
@@gpproject1548 Nala is Simba's mate. And Simba & Nala had two Cubs: Kiara & Kion
There also Burger King in restaurant
He may have lost his money, but he gained something worth more. Respect. He changed the lives of so many families for the better and gave them the American dream.
Looking at the thumbnail, i thought he died for a sec😅
lmao same 😂
Lol right! Only inside edition
imagine. the donut king assassinated by the muffin mans knights
💀right
Homer Simpson: If He cant make Donuts this Superior, NO ONE WILL
Whatever people say about America.... Still it is the best place for those with dream and Hard work.
My father came here with nothing in the 80s and now he is a millionaire. He is a shining example of the American Dream. He is my hero!
When he just simply said, "oh what a memory" That hit me in some way. 💗 I wish him a good healthy life ahead. God bless the man. ❤

Yes, i am
In break lol :)

This is an amazing story. Soo happy for him
he seems like such a pure, nice guy
Wow this makes me so sad, and I’m even Cambodian and my grandpa was in the army, and my dad is a refugee from Cambodia and he lives in Australia with me and my mom.🇰🇭
When he said “donut king” i was expecting Homer Simpson.

John Connor hi
*This is what a true American dreamer looks like!. I hope he lives a long life doing what he loves!.*
The moral of the story: Anyone can make it!!!
Moral of the story DON’T GAMBLE!!!

@@unvcht5046 The guy himself said he gambled all the way...
@@unvcht5046 No his parents were rich, and stop commenting the same thing everywhere.
Omg when he said “Donut Time!” I was absorbed in how adorable he was!!
Wow what a great humbling story 🙌🏾
He seems happy so I’m happy for him! ☺️
I’m Cambodian and this brings tears to me
now that is a original new story worth viewing, especially from someone as unique as him.
Guy at 0:59 looks like he was taken hostage

@@unvcht5046 shut up your commenting that everywhere
The fact that he’s a Cambodian donut king makes me so happy
Happy for this guy!
Love what she said when given an opportunity what you can do and succeed
He seems like such a nice and humble person. I might visit to have a donut someday.
So good to see him doing good!!!
I visited one of the many Cambodian family donut shops he helped, and there doing amazing! I would usually see a line every Saturday morning with people waiting for donuts, personally I dont like the flavor of their donuts, but my family does and they say it's amazing
lmao in the thumbnail I thought the dude was dead and they photoshopped wings on to him

I’m Cambodian and so proud
It’s sad to see people lose everything
When the war strike our country lost most of everything
He is so cool
Finally a video about my king
Beautiful
Wow amazing!!
Hard work and food always help the one ready to build a home and business and help his fellow beings.
I love donuts and their pink boxes
I'm very proud of Ted Ngoy and I'm also a Cambodian, but I was born in America
That's the American dream, it just goes to show no matter your background you can make something of yourself with arduous work and devotion
He really is the donut king
almost exact story to my great grandfather in malaysia. minus the donuts, he lost everything and my great grandmother never slept in the same room with him until death.
My grandpa taught parts of my family how to make donuts but sadly he passed last November💜
I am so sorry
I moved to mexico and I miss LA donuts. It's a dream to visit for the donuts.
I literally looked at the thumbnail without looking at the title and thought he was dead 😹
Living the American dream. ❤
so glad to see it :)))
As a Cambodian I’m proud
My parents also came to America during the Khmer Rouge as refugees. Mad respect ❤️🍩
A good story
What a king
I’ve never heard about him before, I’ll definitely be watching. I live in a small country town 5hrs west of Sydney. Our closest Donut King is a 1hr drive, I have to got to that town every month for medical appointments and I always get Donut King donuts to take home for my kids.
Wow I wanna go to Los Angeles now
Proud Cambodian 🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭
Legend
I am from Cambodia and this so amazing
Them donuts look fire
I am so happy for him I am also live in Cambodia too
The definition of the American dream
I feel good for him
Long live the donut king. ❤️
Free labor for the win once again.
At least they got to come to America and learned to set up their own businesses. That’s more than you’ll get in some places. Hopefully he paid them some kind of wage though.
I want this documentary to win an Academy Award.
IT WONT HOLLYWOOD IS liberal and r@cist
Hell yeah Cambodia represent.
My heart bled after this video
"donut time" that's cute
I’ve never seen an inside edition video with all caps in the title
