2. Jackie Chan
This might come to you as a shock, You may not have seen a Jackie Chan movie in U.S. theaters this year, though he’ll be there to lend his voice to Kung Fu Panda 3, but his Dragon Blade was a big hit in China, and clever marketing earned him $50 million and second place in 2015. Much of this is due to his Chan-branded business endeavors, which include a Segway dealership and a chain of movie theaters, among others.
