Jaycee Chan Net Worth $2 Million
Jaycee`s father is Jackie Chan, and his mother is an actress as well, Joan Li; after he finished high school, Jaycee enrolled at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, however, he was expelled because of poor grades after only two semester.
After that, Jaycee moved to Hong Kong, and started a singing career; his first album, entitled “Jaycee” came out in 2004, and was greeted with positive critiques in Asia. He then focused on acting, but so far he has released one more full length album, “Chaos” in 2010, prior to which he released an EP “Safe Journey”.
To speak of his acting career, Jaycee has appeared in over 20 films and TV series of Asian productions, however, his films weren`t very successful, and he is credited for the film which had the lowest box score result, amassing only US$9,000. His debut appearance was in the film “Blade of Kings” (2004), and it was followed by an appearance in “2 Young” (2005), alongside Fiona Sit. In the second half of the 2000s, Jaycee landed some of his more memorable roles, including in such productions as ““The Drummer” (2007), “Invisible Target” (2007), and “Sun Also Rises” (2007), “Mulan: Rise of a Warrior” (2009), and “Break Up Club” (2010), all of which increased his net worth. In 2011 Jaycee featured in the film “1911” alongside Jackie Chan, and also appeared in “Lee’s Adventure”, and “East Meets West”, increasing further his net worth.
After that he had several more roles, however, all films were disasters, including “Double Trouble” (2012), “Whoever” (2012), and “Love Speaks” (2013), among others.
In 2014 he was arrested for drug possession, and has spent six months in jail, and because of that, his role in the film “Monk Comes Down the Mountain” (2015), is uncredited. Since the arrest he has been living with his mother in Taipei.
Regarding his personal life, little is known about his current love life, however, he dated actress Fiona Sit for four years before they broke up. He tends to keep a low profile since he has been released from jail.
To speak about his relationship with his father, Jackie Chan stated that he won`t give a dollar to his son, as he wants his son to earn his own money, not to waste that which Jackie earned. Also, Jaycee gave up on his American citizenship, and now is a Hong Kong citizen.
