The positive signs in the stock market recently have helped Vietnamese billionaires, including Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, become richer.

Once dreaming of becoming a university lecturer, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao finally became a businesswoman and billionaire. Others became billionaires though they did not complete or even attend university.

Four Vietnamese entrepreneurs have been named in the list of the world’s richest people in 2020 by Forbes magazine.

Pham Nhat Vuong, president of Vingroup, and Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, CEO of Vietjet Air and vice president of Hdbank, top the 2019 list of Vietnamese stock billionaires.

Two of the five richest people in Vietnam had a poor start to the new year as they saw their net asset worth decrease.

Swift 247 was established in early 2019 to provide cargo transport service via technology, connecting transport modes and via air with its strategic partner Vietjet Cargo.

The CEO of budget airlines Vietjet Air and dairy firm Nutifood have been selected in the top 25 Asian Power Businesswomen list.

As the richest Vietnamese person with total assets worth $8.1 billion, Pham Nhat Vuong only ranks ninth among the wealthiest billionaires in Southeast Asia, according to Forbes.
