Jackie Chan, the man who helped popularize ancient martial arts on the global platform, has earned fortunes that only a few could imagine. Working up the success ladder, the Hollywood superstar did not just register his name as one of the industry elites but also became one of the highest-grossing actors. Allegedly, over the years, he earned a $400 Million Fortune. However, unlike others, he is known to be strict with money and wants his children to work hard on their own. But recently, he showed a very different side of his parenting technique.

For doing so, Chan, however, has a very interesting reason. Sharing his perspective, the 68-year-old Hong Kong actor opened up.

Jackie Chan opens up on the reason for not leaving his Fortune to his kids

Jackie believes in hard work and teaches the same value to his son, Jaycee. To help the young kid realize the importance, during one of his flights, he booked Jaycee an economy-class ticket while reserving a first-class one for himself. However, as Jaycee had his seat upgraded because there was a vacant seat, Chan said, “When you sit in first class because of your own hard work, then that’s success.” Time and again, he has expressed how he wants his son to work hard for his own future.

Trying to reason out, he comments on how “kids come first.” Sharing his perspective, he remarks on how it’s the responsibility of the parents to make sure their “children are safe and have as great a life as you can possibly provide.” Even though he recognizes the importance of one learning to navigate the world on their own. He does not negate the importance of parents helping out their children.

The one time when Chan’s strict parenting infuriated his son

Talking about a childhood incident, Chan, in his autobiography Never Grow Up, revealed how he once rebuked his son for running some mischief. However, too young to understand his father’s words and overpowered by emotions, Jaycee decided to teach Chan a lesson. Waking up in the middle of the night, Jaycee tip-topped off into the room and thrashed the cupboard that his father very dearly maintained.

However, Chan realized his son was up to some mischief, but he did not intervene. He and his wife saw him smack the cupboard a few times. “Suddenly, he dashed across the room and smacked the cupboard a few times. Bang, bang, bang!” he remarked. Adding more, Chan revealed that the cupboard was gifted by his godfather, Leonard Ho. Chan, kept other valuables and antiques in the said furniture.
