CP clan ranked 21st richest in the world

By THE NATION

 

 

The family behind the Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group was named the 21st richest family in the world by Bloomberg this month.

 

The Chearavanont family, which still holds the top spot in Thailand, owns assets worth US$30.7 billion (Bt958 billion). The Chearavanont empire was first founded in 1921 and now covers the sectors of agriculture, food manufacturing, retail and telecommunication across 21 countries.

 

Since Thailand was hit by the Covid-19 crisis, CP Group has launched several projects to help out, such as building a Bt100-million factory to make face masks and spending close to Bt200 million on food for both medical personnel on the frontline and Covid-19 patients.

 

The group also donated Bt1 million each to 77 hospitals and provided them with communication equipment, including robots, free internet access and SIM cards worth Bt12 million.

 

CP Group has also said it will not lay off over 400,000 staffs worldwide during the crisis, and announced that it was aiming to cut down carbon dioxide emissions and turn its manufacturing system into zero waste.

 

Meanwhile, the world’s richest family is still the old champions, Walton, who own Walmart and whose assets are valued at around $215 billion.

And you?

charity is tax deductible ... 

 

look at bill gates "foundation"... put their wealth in a foundation = tax deduction and it looks great for the sheeple thinking they are good people.... 

In case they still have an unmarried female with some billions in her account in their clan... I'm ready.

I am very disappointed in this family.

For the past 10 years I have tried to get adopted by them

Alas it has all been in vane ????

It seems I shall never be seen driving around Bangkok in an exotic European sports car.

Not that my fat backside would fit in the tiny seat anyway ????

Lovely! Imagine all the rich (and who could afford) drop a 1000 Baht note and give those poor orphanages.

Do we REALLY have to depend ONLY on those multi billionaires? 

ravip, I would like to think that is/was not necessary, but unless you have

a better idea to fund these orphanages I would be delighted to hear from you.

1. increase sales tax from 7 to 8% and distribute proceeds to orphagages.

2. abolish the practice of Childrens Services (Government department) charging orphanages exhorbitant annual 'licence' fees (who knows where that money goes?

3. use part of Social Security Budget to protect disadvantaged children. Anything less is --words fail me. Something stronger than Reprehensible ?

What a coincidence. They are 21th on two lists? Or are you just being jealous of rich people and call them greedy without any actual argumentation? 

I'm shocked!!! Business MUST be good when you're leasing a country!
