Forbes Magazine Names 40 Richest Filipinos (2012 List)
Forbes Magazine has just released its 2012 list of the 40 Richest People
in the Philippines. SM tycoon Henry Sy retained his spot as the
country's richest person with an impressive net worth of $9.1 billion
.But the country’s biggest gainer was Enrique Razon Jr., who became a
billionaire just last year with $1.6 billion and is now the country’s
third-richest person, worth $3.6 billion. He made his first fortune in
ports, taking over the family business, International Container Terminal
Services, at 27. He turned ICTS into one of the largest port operators
in Asia, then expanded into Europe, North America and the Middle East.
There are three newcomers: Lucio and Susan Co, a husband-and-wife team
who join the ranks of billionaires thanks to last September’s IPO of
their hypermarket chain Puregold Price Club. Another debutant is
38-year-old civil engineer Michael Cosiquien, who took his building
company Megawide Construction public last year and saw its stock triple.
Two from 2011 missed this year’s $140 million cut off: Luis Virata of Nickel Asia and media tycoon Eugenio Lopez.
