He followed in his father’s footsteps in business.
Justin Hakuta is half Japanese and half Filipino, and the son of business guru and television personality Ken Hakuta. Ken made a fortune in the 1980s when he created the Wacky Wall Walker toy. The sticky toy octopus could walk on the walls. Hakuta was born at the height of his father’s success on October 18, 1982.
He attended Sidwell Friends School in DC before studying in Mexico at Tecnológico de Monterrey from 2002 to 2003. Justin then joined Carnegie Mellon University graduating with a BA in Decision Sciences. Like his father, Justin went to Harvard Business School and received an MBA.
After graduation, Justin launched YogaStart, an online resource for yoga services, and has worked with health companies like Honest Tea and Seventh Generation. He also started organizations like the All Day Buffet and The Human Trafficking Project. Justin also served as Vice President of GoodRx from January 2017 to February 2019.
Justin and Ali met at a wedding in 2010.
Justin and Ali met at a wedding and she was instantly impressed with him. She had this to say about the moment she met Justin:
“So I said, ‘Okay, Ali, you have to make this guy believe that your body is a secret garden. When in reality it’s a public park that has hosted many reggae festivals, and he’s accidentally left… (Wong counted mentally) two bums inside. I thought they were hipsters.”
Justin fell for Wong after attending one of his comedy shows. Ali revealed in cobra baby that she was impressed by the fact that Justin was at Harvard Business School. The couple took it easy early on in the relationship and didn’t kiss until their fifth date. Wong also revealed that she helped Justin pay off her student debt. She said:
“I found out my beautiful, Harvard-educated husband was $70,000 in debt. And I, with my hard-earned money, paid for it all. So it turns out that he’s the one who got me. How did he do it? How did he cheat on me? Oh! Maybe because he went to Harvard Business School, the epicenter of white collar crime.”
Justin’s parents had Wong sign a prenuptial agreement before Justin and Wong got married.
Justin and Wong got married in 2014, but before the ceremony, Wong had to sign a prenuptial agreement. At the time of the marriage, Wong was not as successful as he is now, and Justin earned more money than she did. She asked Justin’s parents to ask him to sign a prenuptial agreement. She was afraid to sign the document, but she says it helped her career. Ali wrote in the book Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets, and Tips for Living Your Best Life:
“I was very motivated to earn my own money because I signed a document that specifically described how much I couldn’t depend on my husband. My dad always praised ‘the gift of fear,’ and that prenup scared the hell out of me. In the end, being forced to sign that prenuptial agreement was one of the best things that ever happened to me and my career.”
The couple is blessed with two children, Mari and Nikki. Wong and Justin named Mari after one of Wong’s idols, Mari Kondo. Justin and his family often travel together when Ali is on tour. The couple have been married for a long time, and one of the ways they maintain their strong relationship is through therapy. Wong said Time:
“I don’t see how for us we couldn’t go to couples therapy within the first two years of having children. For us it has been very important, and for other people, if you don’t go to couples therapy, I hope you have great communication skills. You never know what’s going on in other people’s relationships.”
Examine Wong’s jokes before he tells them on stage.
Wong tells some amazing jokes, but before telling them, Justin has to approve them. she talked to Health Magazine on why she lets Justin approve of her jokes:
“It’s not so much about the choice of topic; it’s all about word choice. So no topic is off limits, it just depends on whether I can make it fun. I’d love to talk about politics, but I’ve never been able to turn my thoughts into jokes instead of getting angry.
Wong also tells jokes about his marriage and family. She thinks it’s crucial to let Justin hear these jokes so he can decide if he’s comfortable with them. Wong said The New York Times that she wouldn’t lose her marriage over a big joke:
“It is an Asian unicorn; there’s no one like him. I have to play pranks on him or I lose my marriage. That’s not worth a cool joke.”
Justin and Wong have used drugs to deal with difficult situations in life.

Justin and Wong have faced some tough times, and they’ve been through some of them while using drugs. Wong wrote in her book that she and Justin traveled to Mexico to try a hallucinogen called Ayahuasca. Ali wrote in her book that a double of herself appeared and;
“We rolled together and laughed, our lips moving around each other’s necks, biting into each other’s double-pierced earlobes, touching and flattering each other’s features (which yes, were just my features).”
Justin and Wong turned to drugs again after she suffered a miscarriage, and this time it was mushrooms. It was a difficult time for Wong, and she’s glad her husband was by her side through the ordeal. She said The Guardian:
“I remember worrying what my in-laws would think, which is crazy. I thought they would think his son had married a terrible person. Also, because I made the mistake of telling people as soon as I got pregnant, I had to tell them the bad news and then I felt like I was weighing them down.”
