He was said to be a thrifty person, in spite of how much he earns from playing the basketball, he was also one of the richest among the Chinese celebrities. The media said that the amount he has donated doesn’t affect his bank account. Onefan said that: “If 500,000 dollars — not to mention 500,000 yuan — disappeared from his bank account, he wouldn’t even notice.”
