Jimmy Lin: “Idol Boss” Net Worth over RMB1B from running businesses.
He owns four BMW, M3, Ferrari, and Subaru sports cars. Alex Tu said on a show that Jimmy’s house is like a concert hall. It has almost all high-tech equipments. The media reported that he gave his personal assistant TW$2M (RMB500,000) bonus at year end. His net worth is over RMB1B. He friends call him CEO Lin.
Jimmy said he opened a chain of photo studios more than 10 years ago and was already a CEO then. “I have some companies, but I am not as rich as you said. Not the type with chauffeurs and bodyguards. I drive my own car.” But CEO Lin, the car fanatic admitted that he spent a lot of money on cars. His most expensive car is a RMB300M Ferrari. The car he drives daily is a Mercedes-Benz. Although he loves running his businesses but he said he won’t give up showbiz. “A lot of fans listened to my songs growing up. I won’t give it up.”
