VietNamNet Bridge – At the age of 40, some businessmen managed to obtain the stock assets worth trillions of dong. The total stock assets of the 30 richest businessmen among them have reached 8 trillion dong.



Ha Van Tham, 40, President of Ocean Group

2012 is another difficult year for many businessmen, but it is a good year for many young entrepreneurs. Seven out of the 10 businessmen aged below 40 (U40) who have the biggest stock assets in 2012, have seen their asset value increasing from the end of 2011.

Deputy Chair of Vingroup Pham Thuy Hang tops the list of the 30 U40 richest stock millionaires. Holding 24.7 million VIC shares, worth 1905 billion dong by November 21, Hang is also one of the richest stock millionairesses in the stock market.

Possessing a big fortune, but Hang, like other members of Pham family, Hang’s name and image remain unfamiliar to the public. Hang has just been known as the sister in law of the richest stock millionaire Pham Nhat Vuong.

There has been only some information about Hang found in the prospectus of Vingroup. She was born in 1974, has the university degree in foreign language, and her career has been associated with the enterprise’s operation.

Ha Van Tham, 40, President of Ocean Group, considered the “oldest” one in the list of the top 30 U40 stock millionaires, is on the second position. Tham is also the President of the three subsidiaries of the group – a hotel and service company, Ocean Bank and Ha Bao Private Enterprise.

Having a master degree and doctorate granted by US universities, Tham began his business very early when he was 22. However, when speaking about himself, the businessman, who is holding the volume of shares worth 1080 billion dong said he “has nothing special.”

The third position belongs to Tran Phat Minh, born in 1974, President of Kien Long Bank. Minh now holds 48.1 million Sacombank’s shares. With the share price at 18,400 dong dong, Minh now has the total asset of 890 billion dong.

Though Minh is a “big tycoon,” his ownership at Sacombank has also been made public after a decision released on June 7 to punish Minh for his purchase of 1.54 million shares without reporting to the watchdog agency.

Later on July 13, the President of Kien Long Bank was once again forced to pay 70 million dong in fine for selling 876,450 shares without the information exposition. Currently, Minh’s ownership ratio at Sacombank is 4.94 percent.

The fourth position of the list belongs to a businessman born in 1981 Tram Trong Ngan. Like the “quiet father,” Ngan has been well known since the takeover deal of Sacombank six months ago made a group of shareholders.

Ngan now holds 48 million Sacombank shares worth 883.2 billion dong.

Meeting some troubles, having just sold 21.45 million STB, Dang Hong Anh, President of Sacomreal, Member of the Board of Directors of Sacombank, ranks the fifth among the 30 U40 richest millionaires.

Anh now holds 14/16 million SCR and 37.15 million STB. With the SCR closing price of 4500 dong on November 21 and STB price of 18,400 dong, the President of Sacomreal now has 745.2 billion dong in hands.

Aged 34, Tran Hung Huy, the son of Tran Mong Hung, former President of the Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) is the sixth richest young entrepreneur.

Huy now holds 28.75 million ACB shares, worth 425.5 billion dong. He is the youngest member of the board of directors of ACB. Huy has taken over the post of the President of the bank after Tran Xuan Gia resigned from the post.
