Jet Li and Jackie Chan Forbidden King Salaries?

Jet Li and Jackie Chan Forbidden King Salaries?


So who do you think is getting more money for Forbidden Kingdom Jet Li or Jackie Chan?
This is almost as an intriguing question as who would win in a fight. Jet Li recently made 13 million dollars for his film Warlords. That was the highest salary ever paid to an actor for a Chinese language film.

Forbidden Kingdom on the other hand is a English language film. English language films gross more money worldwide. Jackie Chan and Jet Li are both internationally known actors and I think they should get paid the same amount of yen for a film like Forbidden Kingdom. They both are playing second fiddle to the hero white kid in this film(sort of).

I could see Jackie Chan demanding a little more money than Jet Li. Maybe rightfully so. Jackie Chan has been around longer than Jet Li. He also crossed over before him. Jet Li on the other hand is a little younger and his past current films Danny The Dog and Unleashed were both critical successes and grossed some nice money. Jackie's Rush Hour 3 made good money but was trashed by every critic out there.

So who do you think is making going to make more money on Forbidden Kingdom? Jet Li or Jackie Chan?
