Pham Thu Huong becomes Vietnam's second richest person
Pham Thu Huong, Vice Chairwoman of Vingroup, has become the second richest person in Vietnam and the wealthiest woman in the country, according to Forbes real-time billionaire rankings as of August 26.
Her estimated net worth has reached approximately 4 billion USD, following a significant increase of over 160 million USD in a single trading session. This surge is attributed to the rising value of Vingroup (VIC) shares, which saw a price increase of over 4% on August 26. Pham Thu Huong holds approximately 341.2 million VIC shares, representing 4.4% of the company's charter capital.
Pham Nhat Vuong, the Chairman of Vingroup and husband of Pham Thu Huong, remains the wealthiest individual in Vietnam with an estimated net worth of 35.6 to 35.7 billion USD. The rise in wealth for both individuals coincides with positive momentum in the Vietnamese stock market and the inclusion of VIC in the FTSE Global All Cap index.
