Jackie Chan is an icon who needs no introduction since his fame is universal. To a large extent, Chan’s fame may be attributed to the fact that he represents the peak of the action-comedy genre. Nevertheless, Chan didn’t rise to prominence overnight. Even though it took him a while, he is now worth an estimated $400 million. Yet there was a time when Chan wanted to give away all of his hard-earned money.

Jackie Chan discusses the level of maturity and how it grows, with being one of the most popular actors in the world in his autobiography, Never Grow Up, published in 2015. Being a family man himself, Chan is making a tremendous statement by giving away his fortune. Yet an individual like Chan would give that money to a worthy cause.

Where the wealth of Jackie Chan be used?

In his autobiography, Chan devotes Chapter 28 to discussing his donation. He begins by reflecting on how far he’s come as a person, from one who wanted to purchase everything, to one who now wants to give everything away. Chan also notes that this shift has made him more ‘mature,’ reflecting on the way it has altered his perspective. Chan’s home in Hong Kong is filled to the brim with possessions he describes as a burden. All of this has led him to consider making a fresh start by donating and investing in creating a site for his fans.
