Discover the inspiring stories of three unique individuals who have uncovered their true worth in their daily lives at the Portraits of True Worth exhibition presented by Citigold
In life, some of the most precious things are also the most intangible. For example, living an authentic life with passion, devoting oneself to making a difference to the lives of the people in the community or being a torchbearer for a cause one strongly believes in. These are qualities that exemplify an individual’s true worth beyond the dollars and cents.
This year, Citigold approached three unique individuals to represent the tenets of passion, community and legacy for its True Worth campaign. Their stories will be told at a multi-media exhibition, put together in collaboration with award-winning photographer Geoff Ang. The exhibition will showcase how the three individuals—television presenter and actress Belinda Lee, conservation biologist Dr Jessica Lee and athlete and entrepreneur Claire Jedrek—define their true worth in their own ways. Citigold Presents: Portraits of True Worth will be held on 1 and 2 April at Ion Art Gallery, Ion Orchard Level 4, from 10am to 10pm.

Renowned for telling moving stories through pictures, the Bali-based Singaporean was tasked by Citigold to visually bring to life the meaning of true worth through the perspectives of three different individuals. Geoff explored rooftop urban farms, shadowed an athlete on her daily uphill bike rides and traversed rainforests to bring this thought-provoking exhibition to life.
To Belinda Lee, a recognisable Singaporean television presenter and actress, her true worth is about building transformational relationships with people she has met and journeying with each of them. She believes her calling in life is to reach out to the community and to help those in need to the best of her abilities.
Belinda has also written a book titled Larger Than Life: Celebrating the Human Spirit, which features extraordinary people she has met, who have dedicated themselves to helping the less fortunate and needy in society. Proceeds from the book were donated.

Conservation biologist Dr Jessica Lee sees her true worth in advocating for Asia’s birdlife and protecting the fragile ecosystem that they live in. Her passion for birds began at a young age—she would spend her weekends birdwatching and reading books about the avian world and also volunteered at Singapore’s bird park.
Today, as the assistant vice president of Mandai Nature, she manages its avian conservation programmes across the region and also facilitates local and regional conservation research projects. She’s also often on the ground studying birdlife, conducting tagging and tracking studies as well as assisting with bird rescue, rehabilitation and release.

As for Claire Jedrek, the former competitive race car driver embraces a can-do spirit when approaching any of her endeavours. To anyone who asks her “Why?”, her response would be a resounding “Why not?”. Driven by a passion to continually learn and evolve, she fearlessly pushes her limits to showcase her true worth by excelling in every project she undertakes. Today, she is also an athlete, entrepreneur and public speaker, proving that there are no boundaries when she sets her mind to achieving something.
She has also raised funds for charities through her fitness pursuits. These include participating in the Sundown Marathon for the Children’s Cancer Foundation and competing in the Singapore Duathlon for CARE.

Citigold’s True Worth campaign is underpinned by its belief that an individual’s life value is not fully captured by their financial worth. People’s passions, their relationships with the people close to their hearts and the legacy they aspire to leave behind—these are what give meaning to life and ultimately define one’s true worth.
As a wealth partner, Citigold helps individuals on their wealth journey as they work towards realising their true worth in life.
