According to the publication, both stars earned an estimated USD 30 million dollars last year.\u003cbr/\u003eReferring to the figures, Parker said: \"They are simply not true. I am flattered that anyone would think I have that value or stock.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think if I was making a size of a fortune like that, I'd probably be far more versed for philanthropic opportunities,\" said the actress and producer.\u003cbr/\u003eParker was in Shanghai to open China's own world-class figure skating festival. Named 'Artistry on Ice' and sponsored by China Skating Association, the festival combines sports, art and entertainment with seven of the world's leading figure skaters.\u003cbr/\u003eThe first edition, held last year in Beijing, opened with the special wedding ceremony celebrated on the ice ring for Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, the country's leading Olympic medal winners.\u003cbr/\u003eCouple in and outside the competition, Shen and Zhao performed on Friday evening in Shanghai's Mercedes-Benz Arena. \u003cbr/\u003eTheir choreography was inspired by the theme 'Art and City' and followed the theme song of the American popular television series 'Sex and the City'.\u003cbr/\u003eParker, defining herself as a \"true, pretty loyal, very devoted skating fan\", said she was thrilled to see the performance of the Vancouver Olympics gold medal winning couple. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I can't believe I'm going to see them skate\", she said. \"That's entirely worth the trip.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLater on Friday evening, violinist Edvin Marton from Ukraine put the music to the opening number of 'Artistry on Ice', playing a 17th century Stradivarius valued in USD 4 million dollars.\u003cbr/\u003eApart from Parker, who was accompanied in the Arena by her 7-year-old son, other celebrities also attended the show. \u003cbr/\u003eAmong them was former National Basketball Association Chinese player Yao Ming, in the first public appearance after announcing his retirement on Wednesday.\u003cbr/\u003eYao, who made history in Chinese basketball when he became a pivot for the Houston Rockets, was forced to put an end to his career after nine seasons in the NBA due to a series of injuries.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter an earlier performance in Beijing and the Shanghai stop on Friday, the last leg of 'Artistry on Ice' will be in Taipei on July 24.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
