?I Don?t Want Any of Your Money?: Jackie Chan?s Son Once Declined Inheritance of Father?s Massive $400 Million Fortune in Exchange for a Prized Possession

Known as one of the most skilled action-comedy actors, Jackie Chan possesses some bizarre habits. The martial artist once revealed how he accidentally bought a picture worth half a million. Evidently, his autobiography reveals that his son Jaycee Chan loved the painting and wanted his father to keep it. Chan, who was willing to sell it to any charitable organization, reluctantly decided to keep it. Jaycee even readily refused all the $400 million fortune of his father to have that painting.

Later, the actor was doubtful of his son’s refusal about his possessions. Let’s dig deeper into the matter.

Jackie Chan’s son refused all his money!

In his book Never Grow Up, Chan shared a plethora of incidents, among which he talked about how a five-minute chat cost him a fortune.? The action-comedy star once attended an event to meet his friend when the organizers waved him in. The “Rush Hour’ star waved back to show politeness, and it was then he came to know about the misinterpretation. As it seemed, Chan was nodding to buy a painting worth $50000. Eventually, it was the picture of a horse painted by the artist Xu Beihong. Embarrassed, he left the place confirming the buy and informing the host to send it to his home. When at home, the ‘Vanguard’ star thought of selling it somewhere.

Though he bought it accidentally, Chan showcased the picture and said, “I guess I was meant to have it. Many people have come to my house and seen this painting and told me it?s valuable, though I don?t know how much it?s worth exactly”. Without knowing the exact value, the martial artist wanted to get rid of it by selling it at a charitable auction. Eventually, his son Jaycee stopped him, and said, “Dad, I don?t want any of your money, just leave me that painting and that?s enough”. This startled the actor, as he could not understand the reason behind his refusal. Dubious, Chan wondered, “But wait, he doesn?t want my collection of bat-wing sunglasses?” Evidently, for his kid, the painting was worth more than his inherited fortune from his father.

Chan deceived his son for good

Growing up in a very strict and disciplined environment, Chan always wanted to make his own place in the world out of the shadow of his father. The “Karate Kid” actor firmly believes in hard work and sheer dedication as the key to success. So, he wanted his son to search for his way over the world and make his own money. Moreover, Chan made a deal not to give his son any part of his $400 million fortune and donate it to a trust.

The 68-year-old even conceded, ?If he is capable, he can make his own money?. Although the actor didn’t want his son as the stakeholder in his inheritance, he believed that Jaycee was capable enough to gather courage from the lesson. Sharing a tumultuous relationship with his son, Chan has always proved to be the ideal Asian father.
