For over 15 years, he has consistently ranked among the highest-earning entertainers in the Chinese-speaking world.

He has given her both lavish and personal gifts, including a US$10 million home and songs he composed and performed for her.
Chou also occasionally shares tributes to his wife on social media. Marking their 11th wedding anniversary recently, he wrote: “Whether I’m called the best male singer means little. Whether a film gets made, or stays a dream, is just fine, even if my imagination never seems to rest. Whether the records top the charts across the world hardly matters at all.”
“What matters is this: to be the male singer who knows how to love his family, and truly knows how to live.”
