Jackie Chan is very good at investing. (Picture / Retrieved from Weibo)
Superstar Jackie Chan not only has a set of action movies, but also has two brushes for investment. When he bought 8 old courtyard houses in Beijing many years ago, he was ridiculed by people who spent money on ruins. He did not expect that the price of these old houses has skyrocketed by 24 times now, which has caused his worth to rise, and all the people who were not optimistic at the time fell below the Glasses.
According to Lu media reports, when Jackie Chan was filming in Beijing in 1990, due to the extremely poor accommodation conditions arranged by the crew at that time, the paint on the walls peeled off, many of the walls were in disrepair, and even the toilets in the rooms were as dirty as public toilets that were not cleaned. In addition, he had to stay in the local area for the first half of the year, so Jackie Chan had the idea of buying a house in Beijing, and soon found an agent to find a new house for him.
When Jackie Chan saw these “quaint” old houses, he was immediately attracted by the beauty of the courtyard in front of him, and bought 8 old houses for a total price of RMB 4 million (about NT$17.78 million). It’s a pity that after he moved in, Jackie Chan discovered that the old house was not to his liking. There was no toilet in the house, the structure was inconvenient to install air conditioners, and the interior was as cold as the outside, so Jackie Chan left the old house alone after filming.
Unexpectedly, the house prices of these 8 ancient houses, which were paid for by others, have soared 24 times after 10 years, reaching RMB 12 million (approximately NT$ 53.35 million), but does Jackie Chan still remember these 8 under his name? Between the old house, I am afraid it is another matter. In addition, Jackie Chan, known as the “Endorsement Killer”, also invested in real estate because of his endorsement of luxury houses. In 2006, he bought 2 Beijing luxury houses that he endorsed for himself in 2006, but because he did not handle the transfer and debt disputes , which will be auctioned by the court in 2020. However, it is said that Jackie Chan only paid half of the total price of RMB 33.6 million (about NT$150 million) when he bought the house, and the rest was fully offset by the endorsement fee.
