Why are low density lipoproteins effective in transporting hydrophobic cholesterol ester molecules in the aqueous environment of blood?

Lipoproteins are micelles with hydrophilic heads, and cholesterols are found in their interior.

Lipoproteins have extensive variety of negative charged proteins on their surface which gives them an overall negative charge.

Cholesterol molecules have negatively charged phosphate heads.

LDL's bind to ApoB proteins in the blood and stay soluble.
