Jackie Chan is the highest paid Chinese actor. He is worth around 350 million at present. He is actually the 5th highest paid actor in the entire world which is amazing because there are a myriad of highly paid actors out there. Chan makes his money honestly though. He works hard and often does his own stunts which are combinations of his acrobatic abilities and his knowledge of the martial arts. While many let money go to their head in the acting world, Jackie Chan has not. He is reportedly one of the best humans on earth.
He is humble about his huge earnings and is involved in humanitarian efforts as well. He is also said to be a very kind person and loves his family. Chan's parents were quite poor when they raised him. They were basically refugees who fled a civil war. They instilled a lot of great qualities in the man and those qualities still remain, not matter how much money he rakes in. So yes, Jackie Chan is definitely the highest paid actor in China and the highest paid anywhere who is of Chinese decent. And...he should be because he is awesome.
