In 2021 it looked like the actor’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Thursday (March 28) that Chang is the highest-paid actor in the world, pulling in an astonishing $82 million between March 2023 and February 2024, a nearly $50 million lead over his closest competition.

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The Taiwanese actor has an estimated net worth of $245 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Chang Burger” chain) in Taipei, a Football Team (the “Taipei Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderchang - Taiwan), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Chen) and a fashion line called “Chang Chen Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Chen fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
