At one time in his career, he was regarded as one of the industry’s top stars and one of the highest-paid actors worldwide.
Jackie Chan achieved all of his goals while working in Hollywood, including fame, wealth, power, and respect. He also gained the people’s esteem by providing conscientious service to the neighborhood. But despite being such a successful movie star and a businessman and having millions of dollars against his name, Chan could not stand his lesbian daughter and went ahead to disown her.

With a staggering net worth of $400 million and several enterprises across the world, he is one of the most successful out there. But despite being so successful, he just turned a blind eye to his lesbian daughter.
“We’ve been homeless for a month due to homophobic parents. We pretty much slept under a bridge, and other things. We’ve gone to the police, we’ve gone to the hospitals, the food banks, the LGBTQ community shelters and all of them just don’t give a shit”
Etta Ng Chok Lam, the estranged daughter of Jackie Chan revealed in a video that she was thrown out of her own home because of her sexuality because she was a lesbian. It is a confirmed fact that Jackie Chan has never tried to make contact with her or has ever looked for her.
