7 Richeset Asian Guys In Entertainment Industry

Everyone has a soft spot in their heart for a man or woman who can fight, whether in real life as an athlete or on the big screen as an actress. Just consider the number of active performers who have become famous throughout their careers: the iconic Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, The Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, and the list goes on and on!
It is even more incredible to learn that these actors not only have impressive combat credentials in Movies but that they also have genuine martial arts fighting talents. The majority of these actors come from countries in Asia, such as China, Japan, and Thailand, which are the cradles of many severe martial arts. The following list ranks the world's top seven richest Asian guys in 2022.

Jackie Chan is one of, if not the most recognizable martial arts actors worldwide. Jackie Chan, Fang Shilong, has been acting in films since he was five. He was born on April 7, 1954, in British Hong Kong. He remained a bit player in Chinese cinema until his breakthrough as Bruce Lee's stunt double in Fist of Fury (1972).
Shortly after, he began gaining prominence in several acclaimed Chinese action and martial arts films, eventually leading to acclaim in the Chinese comedy field. Then, in the late '80s, he made a name for himself in the Hollywood film industry, appearing with Chris Tucker and other stars like Owen Wilson and Jennifer Love Hewitt in Rush Hour. As of this moment, his wealth is estimated at $600,000,000.

Because he is also Chinese, he has achieved the same level of international stardom as Jackie Chan. He, like Jackie Chan, became a movie star in China and the United States. Li made his film debut in 1982's Shaolin Temple, a Chinese film that grossed over $85 million and sold over 500 million tickets in China. The 1998 action film Lethal Weapon 4, starring Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Chris Rock, and Joe Pesci, marked his international film debut as he made his way to the West.

3. Chow Yun-Fat

His action and romantic comedy films did well in China, so he tried his luck in Hollywood, but his films were bombed. A role in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End came his way in 2007, though. Yun-fat has a current net worth of $200 million.

4. Jay Chou

He started playing the piano at a young age out of love for music, and a friend signed him up for a talent show in 1998 called Super New Talent King, not realizing that he was already a participant. Not only did the show's host, Jacky Wu, enjoy his musical composition, but he also recognized his talent, which led to greater things.
Known for fusing pop, contemporary R&B, rock, and rap elements into his sound, Vincent Fang has worked with a wide range of artists, including Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Kenny Bee, and the late Kobe Bryant.

5. Huang Xiaoming

Huang Xiaoming, better known by his stage name Mark Huang, is an actor, singer, and model who has earned an estimated $80 million. In 1984, when he was just a kid, a producer picked him out of a crowd to play the lead in a movie. But his shyness prevented him from accepting the role.
However, his film and television career began after his debut in the 1998 drama Love is Not a Game. He co-starred with Donnie Yen in the martial arts film Ip Man 2 (2010) and the Hong Kong action thriller The Sniper (2009).

6. Andy Lau

Lu Han, a singer and actor, was born in Beijing, China, on April 20, 1990, making him 32 years old at the time of this writing. He is one of the youngest millionaires with a net worth of $10 million. He rocketed to prominence in late 2011 after becoming a member of the immensely successful South Korean-Chinese boy band called Exo and its sub-group, Exo-M. Even though he was the sixth most popular Chinese artist in 2014, the year he left the group, he was the group's sixth most popular member.
