The Richest Asian Actress Who Has Surpassed The Wealth Of Aishwarya, Priyanka, Deepika And More

It is a known fact that the Indian film industry, aka Bollywood, is one of Asia's most thriving entertainment industries. Indian actors and actresses charge whopping amounts for a film and the cost may even range to a few hundred crores. So, it is naturally expected that the wealthiest actress in Asia should hail from Bollywood. But to everyone’s shock, the richest Asian actress is from China.

After the success of their films, the actresses’ pay keeps hiking. The highest-paid Chinese actress has been in the industry for almost two decades and is currently Asia's highest tax-paying actress. However, the actress has also been accused of tax evasion. Here’s all that is known about her, along with the countdown of other high-paid actresses in Asia.
