HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong action movie star Jackie Chan is
looking to bequeath half his fortune to charity, following in the
footsteps of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, local media reported on
Thursday.
"I have also written down (a will), ... half of it goes to my
charity and the remaining goes to my wife and son," Chan told a
media conference on a tiger conservation campaign, the Apple Daily
newspaper reported.
A source close to Chan, who acted in Hollywood movies such as "Rush
Hour" and "Shanghai Noon," told Reuters he had been working on his
will for some time and was still reviewing it, adding his net worth
was estimated at about HK$1 billion (US$128 million).
The donation to his Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation, which was
founded in 1988 to help the needy and support performing arts, may
be about HK$500 million, the source said.
