Crazy Rich Asians cast in 2022 net worths ranked: from Bond girl Michelle Yeoh and Marvels Ge
The Malaysian actress plays a stern mother in the film but is best known for her work with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which earned the title “female Jackie Chan”. She was also the first Bond girl of Chinese descent, appearing alongside Pierce Brosnan’s 007 in Tomorrow Never Dies, and starred in Memoirs of a Geisha.
According to VimBuzz, Yeoh can thank her incredible acting resume, which includes a roster of Hong Kong classics, for a big chunk of her earnings. However, according to Car Knowledge, the veteran actress’ net worth has also accumulated from her impressive property portfolio and motor collection which includes a Maserati Levante and Ferrari.
She’ll soon be back on the big screen with James Cameron’s Avatar 3 and features in A24’s new release Everything Everywhere All At Once.

2. Ken Jeong (aka Goh Wye Mun) – US$14 million
Another scene-stealing face with a penchant for comedy, Ken Jeong’s net worth began streaming into the millions after he landed his role as Leslie Chow in The Hangover trilogy. The 52-year-old Korean-American actor continues to star in many films that contributes to his fortune, landing gigs with Murderville, Tom & Jerry: The Movie and previously, NBC sitcom Community. He’s also a host for Fox’s I Can See Your Voice and The Masked Singer, which according to The Richest, are all reasons enough why he gave up his career as a medical doctor to pursue acting full time.
3. Harry Shum Jr (aka Charlie Wu) – US$14 million
The Costa Rican-born actor, who rose to fame from his roles in Glee and Shadowhunters, was actually barely in Crazy Rich Asians, despite his big-name status. That’s about to change though, since he and Gemma Chan were just announced to lead the first sequel, which will showcase their on-screen romance, according to Deadline.
It’ll be based on author Kevin Kwan’s second book in the series, China Rich Girlfriend. Shum has also stars alongside CRA co-star Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All At Once, and J.Lo in All My Life. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actor has a hefty net worth of US$14 million. Yet despite that, he remains humble, apparently splashing out in celebration with two new skateboards, per CNBC.

6. Gemma Chan (aka Astrid Leong) – US$8 million

Hong Kong-born actor Jimmy O Yang made his acting debut as the underwhelmingly titled “person in line” in 2 Broke Girls back in 2012, and has come a long way since, with gigs including a Netflix romcom alongside Nina Dobrev, and in Space Force with Steve Carell.

10. Ronny Chieng (aka Eddy Cheng) – US$3.5 million
Thanks to his success as a comedian, actor and screenwriter, Ronny Chieng’s net worth actually equals the same amount as the leading male character of the film.

11. Henry Golding (aka Nick Young) – US$3 million
Golding had only played two minor acting roles before landing the lead in CRA.
