Enjoys outdoor activities

As for the camper van, Lin's agent told Apple Daily that the singer has always enjoyed outdoor activities.

Lin also has several friends who are fond of camping, and he would go camping with them when he has the time.

The van has already been put to good use, as evidenced by a May vlog entry on Lin's YouTube account:

Going by past incidents, the camper van is only the latest addition to his family of wheels.

Income

Apple Daily pegs Lin's yearly income at about NT$300 million, which is about S$14.15 million.

Having been in the entertainment industry for about 17 years, 39-year-old Lin has grown his assets to about NT$1 billion (S$47 million), the report added.

Lin entered the F&B business in 2018, with the opening of Miracle Coffee in Taipei that year, as well as a second branch in Shanghai in 2019.

Mostly recently, a lifestyle concept store was added to his portfolio. The Taipei store houses both his cafe and fashion label.

While the pandemic has thrown a wrench in Lin's plans, the singer has been taking the time to write new music during this period of frolicking, his agent reveals.

A new album can be expected this year, as well as possible livestream concerts, depending on the situation.
