Vingroup financial growth and leadership wealth

Overview

Vingroup experienced significant financial growth and market momentum in mid-2026. In early August, the conglomerate reported record second-quarter profits, with net profit after tax for the first half of the year rising nearly 349% year-on-year. This performance, supported by the growth of electric-vehicle arm VinFast, contributed to Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong reaching an estimated net worth of approximately US$34 billion.

By late August, rising Vingroup (VIC) share values—aided by the company’s inclusion in the FTSE Global All Cap index—further increased leadership wealth. On August 26, Vice Chairwoman Pham Thu Huong became Vietnam’s second richest person and wealthiest woman, with an estimated net worth of approximately 4 billion USD. On August 27, Pham Nhat Vuong’s assets increased by approximately $2.3 billion in a single day, placing him around 60th on the Forbes world's richest list as VIC stock hit a historical peak of 237,800 VND per share.

By mid-September, Pham Nhat Vuong’s wealth was estimated at $38.2 billion, ranking him 57th globally. Despite receiving zero remuneration from Vingroup and its subsidiaries, his net worth remains heavily tied to the ecosystem, with VIC stock rising nearly 47% since the start of the year. By mid-September, Pham Nhat Vuong’s holdings accounted for nearly 70% of the combined $54.8 billion wealth of Vietnam’s seven recognized billionaires.

In late October, the wealth of the Pham family saw a significant surge. In a single day, the combined assets of Pham Nhat Vuong, Pham Thu Huong, and Pham Thuy Hang increased by nearly $2.8 billion to reach approximately $41.5 billion. This rally was driven by rising stock prices for Vingroup (VIC), Vinhomes (VHM), Vincom Retail (VRE), Vinpearl (VPL), and LPBank (LPB).
