Jet Li Net Worth:<\/h2>\n

Who is Jet Li?<\/h2>\n

Jet Li is an extremely famous movie star (like Alan Alda<\/a>) from China, as well as being an incredible martial artist, champion in Wushu, and now producer of films.<\/p>\n

He won the first Wushu championship at age 19, and then went on to become a famous actor in China, particularly thanks to films such as Once Upon a Time in China, Hero, and Fist of Legend.<\/p>\n

He later made it big in Hollywood thanks to American films like Lethal Weapon 4 and Romeo Must Die, as well as international productions such as Kiss of the Dragon, The Forbidden Kingdom, and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.<\/p>\n

Due to the enormous fame, he found in Wushu martial arts, Jet Li was able to turn that into a major film career, both in China and then Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

When his publicity agency decided his name might be too difficult for people to pronounce in the Philippines, they gave him the stage name Jet Li. Jet was meant to reference his career taking off.<\/p>\n

He had also had the nickname Jet a student, due to how graceful and fast he was when doing Wushu.<\/p>\n

His screen debut was in Shaolin Temple in 1982. From there, he went on to star in two more films in the series, as well as in Once Upon a Time in China and its five sequels, the Fong Sai Yuk series, and Fist of Legend, which was itself a film remake of the classic Fist of Fury, which originally starred the legendary Bruce Lee.<\/p>\n

In 1995, Jet Li starred in High Risk before making his international debut in the 1998 sequel, Lethal Weapon 4. He played the villain. This was shortly afterwards followed by Romeo Must Die in 2000, a role which gained him a great deal of praise even though he couldn\u2019t speak much English while filming the role. He was the star of this one.<\/p>\n

Jet Li did two films in 2001, both The One, which co-starred British action star Jason Statham, and Kiss of the Dragon, which co-starred Bridget Fonda and became a modest hit for the star. The next year, he starred in Hero, which was critically acclaimed and soon grew to be the most financially successful Chinese film ever up to that point.<\/p>\n

Two years later, he starred in a thriller with the rap star DMX called Cradle 2 the Grave, and in 2004, did motion capture and voice work for a Jet Li video game subtitled Rise to Honor.<\/p>\n

In 2002, an Asian-American theatre company that boasts being the oldest one of its kind in the USA presented Jet Li with the visionary award. It was presented to him by famous Chinese director John Woo.<\/p>\n

In 2005, he won critical acclaim for undertaking a more serious role in the film Unleashed. The legendary Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins co-starred in this somber production. The next year, he did Fearless, which was to be the final film in which he would perform wushu.<\/p>\n

He joined with Jason Statham yet again in 2007 for War, another big Hollywood release, although that film, unfortunately, didn\u2019t do great at the box office. It did, however, have a resurgence on home video, and actually doubled the amount of money it had made in cinemas.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Jet Li filmed The War Lords in China, which ended up with him being honored as Best Actor by the Hong Kong Film Awards.<\/p>\n

After years of never actually working together, Jet Li finally teamed up with the also legendary Jackie Chan in The Forbidden Kingdom, a martial arts fantasy epic about the ancient Mummy King legend, in 2008, and that was briefly followed by a villain role in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, facing up against Brendan Fraser. Michelle Yeoh also appeared.<\/p>\n

His next role after this was in The Expendables, which again featured Jason Statham, as well as Sylvester Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, and Terry Crew. He would later reappear in both of the sequels in The Expendables trilogy.<\/p>\n

Jet Li also played China\u2019s emperor in Disney\u2019s live-action remake of its much-beloved animated musical Mulan.<\/p>\n
