The 50-year-old entertainer, still energetic and prolific after 30 years in showbiz, played leading roles in five movies in one year, including "Shaolin" and "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame", according to Forbes Magazine, which produced the list based on each celebrity's earnings, publicity and influence of the year.
