According to the latest update from Forbes' world billionaire rankings, the net worth of Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong - Chairman of Vingroup is currently estimated at 30.5 billion USD, down about 700 million USD compared to the update on January 4. However, thanks to the relative adjustment in the global billionaire group, his ranking has increased from 73rd to 71st, continuing to hold a high position in the ranking of the richest people in the world.
With this level of assets, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong has now surpassed billionaire Jack Ma - the founder of Alibaba Group, who owns about 30.1 billion USD according to Forbes real-time data.
Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong's assets continued to be supported by the positive developments of Vingroup shares (stock code: VIC) on the Vietnamese stock market. In the trading session on January 5, VIC shares recorded a strong increase in the session, at times trading around the threshold of VND 173,100/share (adjusted price), approaching the historical highest price range and attracting great attention from cash flow.
The excitement not only stopped at VIC but also spread to other stocks in the Vingroup ecosystem. In the trading session on the same day, Vinhomes (stock code: VHM) recorded positive developments, increasing dramatically to VND 132,600/share. Following the same trend, Vinpearl (stock code: VPL) continued to move positively, maintaining trading around the range of over VND 100,000/share.
Vingroup's "family" stock group, especially VIC and VHM, continues to play an important role in supporting the market, contributing to helping VN-Index maintain green color in the trading session. Along with the positive developments of stock market prices, Vingroup's capitalization continues to improve, thereby consolidating the group's position in the largest-scale enterprise group in the Vietnamese stock market.
In the domestic market, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong still maintains the position of the richest person in Vietnam, with asset values fluctuating according to the developments of key stocks in the Vingroup ecosystem, and is also one of the billionaires with significant influence in Southeast Asia.
Following Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong, Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao - Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Vietjet Air - currently owns an estimated assets of about 4.9 billion USD, ranking 839th in the list of the richest people in the world.
Mr. Tran Dinh Long - Chairman of Hoa Phat Group - is holding assets of about 2.6 billion USD, ranking 1,533th in the list of global billionaires.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ho Hung Anh - Chairman of Techcombank - owns an estimated assets of 2.3 billion USD, ranking 1,704th in the world.
Mr. Nguyen Dang Quang - Chairman of Masan Group - currently has assets of about 1.1 billion USD, ranking 2,997th richest people in the world.
