Way more in my opinion. Jackie Chan and Jet Li are just actors, with the exception of Jet Li being an exceptional Kung Fu practitioner. Where as Bruce Lee made this whole 'cross training' idea popular. He was not the first to think about it (Edward William Barton-Wright, and probably even some before him) but he was the first to popularize it so he is probably seen as a revolutionary of martial arts. And Bruce Lee believed in the constantly expanding his arsenal, so since BJJ had a rise in fame in the last decade, he probably would have dabbled in that. All in all, he is still a legend today, and most likely would have increased his popularity.
