Taylor Fish, Nicki Pepe and Jackie Chan: WTF Are These Celebrity Fortune Reposts

If you ever frequent the fringes of weird Tumblr/Twitter, you've probably encountered the super random "Repost X Celebrity For Good Fortune/Money" memes at some point -- some rarer than others, depending on what sorts of accounts you follow. And while the faces may range from 5 Seconds Of Summer to Taylor Swift's head on a fish, the thing that stays consistent are their promises of good fortune, wealth or all of the above. Because the Internet is full of superstitious goobers, I guess.

But when, exactly, did famous faces get involved? After all, nonsensical urban myth reposts have always existed in some form or another, whether we're talking early email-era chain letters or things like the more recent "magic bagel," but the inclusion of a celebrity-themed category is a much newer, somewhat tangential development. 

One of the most popular and prominent ones is dailyjackiechan's "Chan of Wealth" meme, which was born at the end of this past January and has since garnered over 600K reblogs. I mean, it makes sense, since Chan's WTF face has already become a reaction meme staple -- not to mention the fact that he's also (surprisingly enough) the second highest paid actor in the world. Guess I would take a lottacashselfies too if I had all that yuan, man.
