Forbes magazine has just announced the list of world billionaires in 2025, in which Vietnam has one less representative compared to last year. The Vietnamese billionaires include Vingroup Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong, VietJet Air Chairman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Hoa Phat Chairman Tran Dinh Long, Techcombank Chairman Ho Hung Anh and Masan Chairman Nguyen Dang Quang.
Thaco Chairman Tran Ba Duong is no longer recognized by Forbes as having billion-dollar assets.
Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong is the owner of the largest assets among the 5 Vietnamese billionaires, with 6.5 billion USD, an increase of 2.1 billion USD compared to last year. This is the 13th year he has been on this list.
Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao's assets remain at 2.8 billion USD. She currently holds the position of Vice Chairwoman of HDBank Board of Directors and Chairwoman of VietJet Air.
Steel tycoon Tran Dinh Long has $2.4 billion, down $0.2 billion from last year. He is now ranked 1,513th in the world.
Mr. Ho Hung Anh is on this list for the 7th time. His assets this year are 2 billion USD.
Masan Chairman Nguyen Dang Quang also appeared on the list for the fifth consecutive year. His assets are currently $1 billion.
To be included in the list, the method chosen by Forbes is to evaluate the size of an individual's assets based on stock prices and exchange rates as of March 7.
This year, the world has a record 3,028 billionaires, 247 more than last year. This is the first time the number of billionaires globally has exceeded 3,000 individuals. Their assets are also the largest ever, at $16.1 trillion. Each billionaire owns an average of $5.3 billion, up $200 million from last year.
Billionaire Elon Musk is the richest man in the world
According to Forbes magazine, technology billionaire Elon Musk - founder of Tesla and SpaceX - has officially regained the title of richest person on the planet, with a fortune of 342 billion USD.
This is a "spectacular comeback" for billionaire Musk after losing this position in 2023. In just the past year, his assets have grown strongly, with an increase of up to 147 billion USD, equivalent to nearly double compared to the previous year.
This success comes from Tesla's impressive growth, SpaceX's major contracts with the US government and the remarkable development of xAI, the AI company Musk founded.
Musk has reclaimed the No. 1 spot from Bernard Arnault thanks to the meteoric rise of Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. Despite some recent struggles, including a 40% drop in Tesla stock over the past two months, Musk has maintained his crown.
