Jet Li has revealed that his wife, Nina Li Chi, has full control over his finances, including his estimated $280 million fortune.

The martial arts icon shared that he does not personally manage money, joking that he doesn’t even carry cash or credit cards and depends on his assistant when needed.

The couple met in 1988 while filming Dragon Fight and got married in 1999 after over a decade together.

They have two daughters and have maintained a relatively private family life despite global fame.

Despite overseeing a vast fortune, Nina Li is known for living simply.

She avoids luxury and public attention, focusing instead on family and managing investments behind the scenes.

Beyond managing finances, Nina has reportedly played a key role in investment decisions over the years.

Her approach reflects a preference for stability and long-term planning rather than extravagant spending.

For Jet Li, the arrangement highlights trust and partnership rather than control.

It also offers a glimpse into a lifestyle that prioritizes family, privacy, and simplicity over fame and excess.
