This paper is mainly concerned with the optimal global asymptotic behavior of the unique convex solution to a singular Dirichlet problem for the Monge-Ampère equation ${\rm det} \ D^2 u = b(x)g(-u), \ u<0, \ x \in \Omega, \ u|_{\partial \Omega} = 0,$ where $\Omega$ is a strict convex and bounded smooth domain in $\mathbb R^n$ with $n\geq 2$, $g\in C^1((0,\infty))$ is positive and decreasing in $(0, \infty)$ with $\lim_{s \rightarrow 0^+}g(s) = \infty$, $b \in C^{\infty}(\Omega)$ is positive in $\Omega$, but may vanish or blow up on the boundary properly. Our approach is based on the construction of suitable sub- and super-solutions.
