Teach him to earn money on his own: Jackie Chan did not leave his son a $400 million inheritance and explained the reasons

Jackie Chan, the famous actor who became famous in action movies, made an unexpected decision: his only son, Jaycee Chan, will not receive any part of his father’s fortune. Although Jackie earned about 400 million dollars over the years of his career, he intends to invest this money in charity.

The actor has long stated his position, wanting to transfer all his finances to charitable causes. He is sure that big money can spoil a person, so Jaycee needs to achieve success in life on his own. Chan noted that if his son is capable, he will be able to earn it himself; otherwise, he will spend his money.

According to Jackie, the true value of achievements lies in the fact that one’s own efforts must bring them about. He wants Jaycee to feel the joy of the victories he will achieve through his own labor.

Jackie Chan earned his fortune thanks to incredible efforts in his career, performing most of the dangerous stunts himself. His millions are the result of hard work and the risks he took during the filming.

Chan plans to transfer the capital to his charitable foundation, established in 1988. This foundation implements numerous humanitarian projects around the world, including medical assistance to the needy, support for victims of natural disasters, and providing educational scholarships to young people.

As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Jackie Chan actively supports programs to combat child poverty and human trafficking in Asia.

His decision regarding the inheritance has sparked differing opinions among the public: some consider it harsh, while others see it as wise and an incentive for the children of celebrities not to rely solely on their parents’ financial assistance.

Recall that Jackie Chan recorded his last song, which will be published only after his death. Also, more recently, his wife, Lin Fengjiao, became known, having always been by the actor’s side.
