VietNamNet Bridge – One family has been found as having the total stock assets of over one billion dollars. The majority of the names listed in the top 30 stock millionaire families have seen their assets increasing despite the economic downturn and the declines of the stock indexes.

The successful takeover of Sacombank has helped Tram Be and his family members possess the stock assets worth 1434 billion dong, thus putting his family into the 11th position of the list

Seventy percent of the families in the 2012’s list have their stock values increasing in comparison with 2011.

The total assets of the 30 families had reached 55,587 billion dong after the latest trading session of 2012, or 2.67 billion dollars, which represents a 300 million dollar increase in comparison with the last year.

The noteworthy thing is that nearly a half of the 2.67 billion dollars belongs to the owners of Vingroup. Pham Nhat Vuong, the richest stock millionaire in 2012, together with his wife Pham Thu Huong and three Huong’s sisters are holding 282.2 million VIC shares, wroth 22,576 billion dong (over one billion dollars).

With the huge assets, the Pham family continues topping the list of the richest stock millionaire families, for the fifth consecutive year.

There has been no change with the second and the fourth positions in the list. The family of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group’s--President Doan Nguyen Duc, and the family of Masan Group’s--President Nguyen Dang Quang, have been staying firmly on the positions with the total assets of 5745 billion dong and 2221 billion dong.

The third position on the list has belonged to the owners of Hoa Phat Group who have seen their asset value increase by one trillion dong in comparison with last year. President Tran Dinh Long, his wife and his mother have been put onto the fourth position of this year’s list.

2012 was an unlucky year for Dang Thanh Tam and Dang Thi Hoang Yen, the two well-known millionaires, when they fell from the third to the sixth position with the asset value decreasing by 900 billion dong over the last 12 months.

The similar decreases have also occurred with some other big businessmen, including the families of Nguyen Duc Kien, one of the biggest tycoons in Vietnam, Tran Hung Huy (ACB) and Nguyen Thi Nhu Loan (Quoc Cuong Gia Lai group).

However, the upheavals in the tough year 2012 brought the opportunities to new faces. The successful takeover of Sacombank has helped Tram Be and his family members possess the stock assets worth 1434 billion dong, thus putting his family into the 11th position of the list. This is for the first time Be’s family appears as one of the 30 richest families.

The same thing occurred with the big guys in the port city of Hai Phong – Do Huu Ha and his son Do Huu Hau of the Hoang Huy Group. With the total assets of 656 billion dong, Do’s family has been added into the list of the top 30 families, ranking the 17th.

The 2012’s list of top 30 families witnessed the six completely new names which never turned up before in the previous years’ lists.

The family which has the highest number of stock holders is the one of Cao Thi Ngoc Dung, President of PNJ, a gold, silver and gemstone group, with 12 members. Meanwhile, there are three families with only two members for each.

The 30th position of the list belongs to the family which is possessing 290 billion dong worth of stocks, a 100 billion dong increase over the last year’s figure.

The lists of the richest stock millionaires have been released by VnExpress, which analyzed the information of 700 companies listing their shares on the Hanoi and HCM City bourses, with the cooperation of VNDirect Securities Company.
