As of 2019, she is banned from entry to the United States.[4]

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on her and her brother Aung Pyae Sone since 10 March 2021, pursuant to Executive Order 14014, in response to the Burmese military's coup against the democratically elected civilian government of Myanmar. The sanctions include freezing of assets under the US and a ban on transactions with US persons. She became a major target of a domestic boycott and social punishment by people who oppose the military regime.[6][7][8][9]

She is also a founder of Everfit, a chain of luxury gyms.[4] She also part-owned Pinnacle Asia, a company that secured a deal to supply mobile towers to Mytel, a military-controlled telecoms firm.[10][11] A week after the US imposed sanctions on her, she was removed from company registration as a director.[11] Khin Thiri Thet Mon has acquired a stake in Investcom PTE Ltd, which has bought Norwegian telecoms firm Telenor's operation in Myanmar.

In September 2022, Thai authorities arrested Burmese tycoon Tun Min Latt who is closely associated with Min Aung Hlaing and his family, on money laundering and drug trafficking charges, following a raid.[14][15] The September 2022 raid found assets of her bank records and her brother Aung Pyae Sone's property title to a four-bedroom luxury condo worth nearly US$1 million in Bangkok's Belle Rama 9 complex.[16][17]

In 2010, she married Lin Myint Phwel, a former DJ and producer who was the leader of the DJ Xoon Mite group.

Ltd., both subsidiaries of the Aung Myin Thu Group. He has been removed from the board of Aung Myin Thu companies since the publication of the United Nations fact-finding mission report on the Myanmar military’s business networks.[18] After having two children, they divorced on 30 May 2019.
