HONG KONG: Action superstar Jackie Chan has bought one of Michael Jackson's silver gloves for US$250,000 (S$352,000) for his son Jaycee Chan at a charity auction, reported Hong Kong media.
"This is the coolest gift my father has ever given to me!" said the 27-year-old.
Good things certainly come in pairs for the the younger Chan, who is currently in Taiwan to shoot six self-directed music videos in just nine days.
According to Chan, his mother, former actress Lin Feng Jiao, has also personally raised the prize money for a modern dance competition held by her son, from NT$15,000 to NT$25,000, to show her support for his work.
The winner of the competition will not only take the money but also get to appear in his music videos.
Interestingly, while Chan's celebrity parents have spared no expense to make their son happy, one of Jackie Chan's former employees, William Duen, claimed they were misers and mistreating their employees.
Duen claimed that the kungfu star fired his former right-hand man, Kenneth Lo, right after he appointed his wife Lin as head of his two entertainment firms JCE Movies and JC Group.
Duen, who was also fired after Lin's appointment, accused Jackie Chan of being "a heartless boss" when he spoke to Hong Kong reporters last week.
Lo, 50, had been working with Jackie Chan for 30 years but apparently received just HK$100,000 (S$18,000) in compensation when he was dismissed last year.
Lo, who had no other experience other than being a martial artist and bodyguard, is reportedly still unemployed.
