Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong maintains the No. 1 position
According to Forbes updated on April 29, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong - Chairman of Vingroup Group is owning assets worth 34.1 billion USD. He maintains the position of the richest person in Vietnam. In Forbes' ranking of the richest people in the world, he ranks 65th.
Observers believe that this result reflects Vingroup's leading role in the fields of real estate, industry and technology development orientation - electric vehicles in recent years.
Standing second is Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao - Chairwoman of Vietjet Air's Board of Directors with assets worth 4.2 billion USD, ranked 1018th in the world. Despite maintaining a stable position for many years, her asset scale is still quite far from the leader.
Following are Ms. Pham Thu Huong - Vice Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Vingroup Group with assets worth 3.7 billion USD (ranked 1153rd in the world) and Ms. Pham Thuy Hang - Vice Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Vingroup Group with assets worth 2.6 billion USD (ranked 1580th in the world). These are all important shareholders in the Vingroup ecosystem.
Steel industry plays a stable role
In the manufacturing sector, billionaire Tran Dinh Long - Chairman of Hoa Phat Group - recorded assets of 2.8 billion USD. According to Forbes' list of world billionaires, Mr. Long is ranked 1503.
Hoa Phat's presence shows that the basic materials industry is still an important pillar in the asset structure of Vietnamese billionaires.
Experts believe that in the context of volatile global financial markets, the asset value of Vietnamese billionaires may change rapidly with stock movements.
However, the trend of expanding to new fields such as technology, clean energy and sustainable production is expected to create more room for growth, while gradually diversifying the asset resources of Vietnamese entrepreneurs.
