Jackie Chan is the living embodiment of success. Starting from a very mediocre family, he now is a global heartthrob with a net worth of $400 million. Hailing from a humble household, it was never easy for him to make ends meet. Even though he made $35 a day as a martial artist, he would spend thrice on gambling. Even after becoming the Hollywood actor that he is today, Chan used to have a habit of overspending.

The millionaire actor once revealed how his bizarre spending habits turned some heads. In his 2015 autobiography, the action-comedy actor registered several such facts about himself. And there he shared how he used to buy in bulk, regardless of the needs. Let’s scroll down to know more about his habits.

Jackie Chan led a luxurious life after being successful

As per his memoir, Never Grow Up, Chan wasn’t born with a silver spoon. In fact, with a meager family income they led a very austere life. Perhaps that is the reason behind his splurging spree after becoming a Hollywood superstar. Notably, he used to buy things in massive amounts, regardless of when and where to use them.

However, while sharing several anecdotes about his luxuries, Chan once opened up about how he once bought costly flashlights in America. “While shopping in America, I bought $6,000 worth of flashlights in one go, and everyone looked at me like I was insane.” He further shared, “At the time, no one in America had any idea who I was. They probably thought I was just a rich Asian weirdo.”
