Opening the session on August 31 (US time), VinFast Auto shares of billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong continued to fall sharply with a decrease of 10-12% to the threshold of 36 USD/share. Trading was quieter than previous sessions. The matched volume up to 11:30 pm on August 31 (Vietnam time) reached more than 4 million units.
VinFast's capitalization dropped to 84 billion USD.
Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong's assets also decreased accordingly. Previously, on August 30, Forbes unexpectedly adjusted billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong's assets to decrease sharply, not following the developments of VinFast shares like in previous sessions, causing many conflicting opinions.
Earlier, on the morning of August 30 (Vietnam time), Forbes reported that Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong's assets reached 39 billion USD, ranking him 30th on the list of the richest people on the planet. At that time, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong was the 4th richest person in Asia and number 1 in Southeast Asia. However, Forbes later adjusted the calculation and sharply lowered Mr. Vuong's assets and ranking.
With a capitalization of 84 billion USD, VinFast ranks 4th among car manufacturers in the world, after Tesla (817 billion USD) of billionaire Elon Musk, Toyota (233 billion USD), German supercar manufacturer Porsche (101 billion USD) and China's largest electric car manufacturer BYD (96 billion USD).
VinFast still has a higher capitalization than the industry giants with a very long history of development such as: General Motors, Ford, Honda, Ferrari, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz...
VinFast forecasts sales of 45,000 to 50,000 units in 2023. Tesla estimates it could sell 2 million units this year, while BYD could reach 2.5 million units.
Domestically, as of August 31, Vietnam still had 6 USD billionaires according to the Forbes list. Following Mr. Vuong is Mr. Tran Dinh Long (Chairman of Hoa Phat Group) with assets of 2.3 billion USD.
VietJet Chairman Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao currently owns assets of 2.1 billion USD. Techcombank Chairman Ho Hung Anh has 1.6 billion USD. Mr. Tran Ba Duong Thaco and his family own assets of 1.5 billion USD. Masan CEO Nguyen Dang Quang has 1.2 billion USD.
