Jackie Chan Gives His Fortune to Charity

Jackie is officially one of the most generous stars in the showbiz industry, surpassed only by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.

These other two donated millions of dollars out of their personal fortune and Chan also wants to help people, but doesn't have as much money as they do, said the actor in a press conference held yesterday.

The Asian actor furthermore declared that he has finally ended writing his will and that half of his money will go, after his death, directly to those in most need of it, through the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation, supporting Hong Kong youngsters, disaster relief, the performing arts and the medical science.

The actor refuses to disclose the exact amount that is to go to charity or his net worth. The latter is estimated at about US$128 million, much less than that of other Hollywood stars, due to the fact that Jackie's acting career is primarily based in Hong Kong. The will also specifies that the rest of the estate will go to his wife and child.
