Pham Nhat Vuong, Chairman of Vingroup, ranks among the world’s wealthiest individuals.
According to Forbes, as of September 25, 2025, Pham Nhat Vuong, Chairman of Vingroup, boasts a net worth of $15.4 billion, securing the 168th position among the world’s richest individuals and maintaining his title as Vietnam’s wealthiest person.
To put this wealth into perspective, if converted into $100 bills (each weighing 1 gram), his fortune would weigh approximately 154 tons. Stacked vertically, these bills would reach a staggering 16.94 km, surpassing Mount Everest’s height (8,849 meters) by more than double.
With Vietnam’s population at 101.7 million, distributing Vuong’s wealth equally would grant each person roughly $400. Even spending $10 million daily, it would take him 105 years to exhaust his fortune.
In the first nine months of 2025, Vuong’s wealth surged by $11.3 billion, nearly quadrupling since the year’s start. On average, he amassed $42 million daily, or over $1.3 billion monthly.
This remarkable growth propelled Vuong past notable figures like former U.S. President Donald Trump, Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Malaysia’s richest man Robert Kuok, Philippines’ wealthiest Enrique Razon Jr., and legendary investor George Soros.
In Vietnam, Vuong’s wealth surpasses the combined fortunes of the next four billionaires: Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao (Vietjet Air), Tran Dinh Long (Hoa Phat), Ho Hung Anh (Techcombank), and Nguyen Dang Quang (Masan Group) by one and a half times.
Vuong’s wealth surge is primarily attributed to the soaring value of Vingroup’s VIC shares, which quadrupled in 2025, reaching a peak of VND 158,000 per share. This propelled Vingroup’s market capitalization to over VND 613 trillion, surpassing Vietcombank as Vietnam’s most valuable listed company.
Vuong’s direct and indirect holdings in VIC alone are valued at approximately VND 290 trillion, exceeding the market capitalization of major banks like BIDV, VietinBank, Techcombank, and VPBank.
Beyond VIC, a significant portion of Vuong’s wealth resides in VinFast, a Nasdaq-listed company with a market cap exceeding $7 billion.
Vuong’s wife, Pham Thu Huong, also experienced a substantial wealth increase, reaching nearly $1 billion (VND 27 trillion) through her direct ownership of over 170 million VIC shares. Since the year’s start, her wealth grew by VND 20 trillion, ranking her fifth among Vietnam’s richest individuals on the stock market.
While Forbes hasn’t yet recognized Huong as a billionaire, the ongoing rise of VIC shares suggests she may soon join this elite list.
