Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan, best recognised as a Hong Kong martial arts star, is also a director and producer. In his movies, he typically performs the stunts himself. Chan has been acting since the 1960s and today, he’s a cultural icon, often referenced in cartoons, video games and memes.

Chan is believed to be a Singapore permanent resident since 1998. He owns several properties in Singapore – in 2007, he paid $11 million to buy the former Jinriksha Station at Neil Road. In 2010, together with his good friend singer-songwriter Emil Chau (a.k.a. Wakin Chau), he purchased four apartments worth over $10 million at Centennia Suites. Two years ago in 2013, Chan donated 6 historic houses to Singapore, which were to be showcased on the campus of Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
