First up is Jay Chou.
Man, this guy made bank this year! Chou is reportedly the top earning Taiwanese star in the music industry raking in a cool TW$554 million (US $17.2 million). So how did Mr. Chou earn his dough? By the many endorsements, appearance fees, concerts, commercials, film fees and music royalties. Nice.
