Jackie Chan Amassed Enormous Wealth Through Real Estate Investments
Jackie Chan (成龍) may be the richest star in Asia. Working in entertainment for decades, the 60-old was rumored to have accumulated massive riches from film projects and investments. Recently, local media compiled a list of his currently known assets, including some surprising properties and treasures that make up a large part of his alleged $2 billion HKD fortune.
As an world-famous movie star, Jackie was able to command a high salary, even from Hollywood studios. He reportedly earned $15 million USD for his role in Rush Hour 3 <尖峰時刻 3>, and received the same rate later for The Forbidden Kingdom <功夫之王>. In addition, he was given a cut of ticket sales as well as the films’ distribution rights in Asia, further padding his wallet.
Although he has already earned more than anyone can dream of from just being on film sets, Jackie also supplemented his income with successful real estate investments. He allegedly owns several luxury properties in the United States, Australia, and Mainland China, and has put down over $100 million HKD on a piece of land in Hong Kong. He reportedly earns over $70 million HKD a year from these investments alone.
With a seemingly endless savings account, Jackie easily spent it on his favorite items. In addition to dozens of sports cars, expensive rugs, and a private jet worth $200 million HKD, he also purchased several antique furniture and paintings from famous masters, as well as ancient houses and pavilions in the Mainland.
At a recent charity auction, Jackie claimed that he has so many treasures they filled up eight warehouses. He donated several items at the event, saying that he is even willing to pledge real estate for good cause. Indeed, he has been renovating some of his ancient properties in the past few years and has gifted them to Mainland towns and to Singapore.
Perhaps age has finally shifted his priorities, nowadays, Jackie seems much more willing to put his assets to better use. “Before, I would feel reluctant [to part with these items], but not anymore. I would even donate houses if I cannot find space to store [my items] in Hong Kong, I will give them all away.”

this is even news? we all know rich people like jackie invest in real estate since hk’s real estate hold strong value.
he deserves every penny, putting his body on the line for our entertainment.
I agree with you 100%. He has been doing it for decades…
Too bad all that money couldn’t buy him a better personality so he will treat his family members better.
Hahaha!
Jackie “Abenezer Scrroge” Chan.
On Ellen, Jackie Chan said he washes his own underwear. So I am quite shocked to read that he has so much money. Totally shocking news.
He also sweeps the floor and picks up litter. So unlike typical pampered multi-millionaires
During his young days Jackie Chan had been chasing beautiful actresses like Brigette Lin and Rosamund Kwan and Joan Lin but none of them interested in him accept Joan Lin look now Joan Lin is the most fortune one. Rosmund K ended up with an old ugly man now and Brigette Lin is divorced.
Brigette is divorced?? When was this? I heard that her marriage was having problems,but did not know that she is divorced if it is true.
With all this money he has not supported Elaine & his daughter with a single penny!! To me, he is just a heartless git!!! No matter what his does nothing will change the way I see him!
Elaine is sketchy anyways. Why would you expose this to the media after so long. Allegedly, Jackie does give them money. But no one knows if its true or not besides them. To be honest, I don’t think Jackie Chan cares how you see him… He still has a huge fan base even in Hollywood where people don’t even know about this stupid news with some women coming out and saying they have a child together. Look, we’re human, mistakes happen, be adults about it.
Honestly, even if he did give them money, I doubt the media would report about it knowing how they are. You know the saying, good things are not known or are overlooked by everyone, but bad things get known and spread all over town.
“Mistakes happen, be adults about it.”
That sounds like a really condoning comment. He committed infidelity fully aware that he has a wife and kid at home. And if you think its his first time, you have another thing coming. He was just smart enough not to get caught with other women.
I question his fidelity ethics as well as some other ethics but no one is all good. I do appreciate his kindness when it comes to the community, but have little respect for him elsewhere.
Too many “irresponsible” men out there like Jackie Chan, which is why sex before marriage (for too long) and having kids out of wedlock is dumb-dumb-dumb, especially if the “illegitimate” kids are given the father’s last name. Women are giving waaaay too much.
Stacy Keibler was smart to dump George Clooney.
as long as he used his assets and money to help for charity then he is worthy and respectable man…i wonder chow yun fat and stephen chow sing chi and jackie chan (who are more rich and are they helping the charity with their wealth now or only after death?)
