According to Jet Li, Nina Li Chi regularly sent money to his daughters, enough for them to live comfortably their entire lives, even without working. Nina Li Chi once bought homes in the US and China for the two girls. Upon reaching adulthood, Li Si and Li Taimi started working and became self-sufficient, proactively telling Nina Li Chi that they no longer needed additional financial support.
