Public appearance fees for Chinese celebs(2)

Actresses Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun followed on the list with 120 million yuan ($192,441) and 115 million yuan ($184,422). The actresses' ability to charge more is no less inferior to the two 'Bingbings,' but they have not made as many commercial appearances in recent years. For these two talented actresses, friendship and connections played more important roles when deciding to attend commercial events, and not the price paid by the organizers.

For celebrities from Taiwan, singer Jay Chou topped the list with 125 million yuan ($200,465) per appearance, followed by model Chiling Lin at 105 million yuan ($168,390). As for Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung and singer Alan Tam tied for first place at 105 million yuan ($168,390), followed by singer Kelly Chan at 900,000 yuan (U144,338).

Here's the top 10.
