Jay Chou ~ "I Give Mum all my Money"

JAY CHOU: I GIVE MUM ALL MY MONEY
BATGWA
By: Alex Au


Jay Chou ( 周杰倫 ) took part in a promotional event for an online games company in Taipei today.

Jay is the face of over nine sponsors – jobs which reportedly earn him a total of NT$100 million.

He revealed, however, that he gives all his money to his mother.

He said that his mum, who still sees him as a kid and does not think he can take care of money, puts his income into savings and investments.

He revealed that he has to ask his mother any time he needs large amounts of money.

The superstar, who owns three properties in Taiwan, told reporters that he is house-hunting in Hong Kong and Shanghai, even though his mum disapproves.

The star also has a penchant for classic cars and owns over a dozen.

I find that really cute and sweet, but I dunno Jay Chou’s mom. So I could take that back. Coz right now I imagine her mother as a strict but caring parent. Like Jay Chou is still some child-star that his parents should handle his finances.

But Asians are usually more attached to their parents more than other people (correct me if I'm wrong), and even at ages when you’re old enough to move out, we prefer to stay with our parents. Somehow for Jay, it could be a good thing, at least he gets to save his money unlike other celebrities.

He is 31 years old now, and obviously you’d be saying he’s old enough to manage his own life (even have a family and be a dad). Recently there were reports where Jay Chou is giving hints that he wants a girlfriend. I couldn’t believe he still doesn’t have one.

I find Jay Chou as a pretty cool guy. I mean he’s young, talented and successful. He’s got so much to do as an artist. If one career doesn’t take off he can always do another. Aside from being an actor and singer, he can always direct movies (thanks to the success of his film "Secret"), or be a music producer, or a music writer. Obviously the guy’s like insured for life.
