Thaksin Among Top 10 Billionaires In Thailand, Dhanin Heads List

[webfact]

 

AGAIN topping Forbes magazine’s 10 Richest in Thailand list for this year is Mr. Dhanin Chearavanont, senior president of Charoen Pokphand Group Co., Ltd. (CP), while de facto Pheu Thai boss Thaksin Shinawatra is also among them placing 10th together with Mr. Harald Link, president of B.Grimm Power Plc, Thai Rath newspaper said this morning (Apr. 5).

 

While this year’s list has barely changed from last year with Dhanin still topping it but Thaksin and Link having climbed up, a significant difference is that the 10 Richest in Thailand have become “poorer” when compared to the 10 Richest in the World who are getting richer.

 

The Richest in Thailand 2024 list is as follows:

 

1) Mr. Dhanin Chearavanont, CP, net worth US$12.5 billion dollars (approximately 458 billion baht), net asset value tallied from stock prices and exchange rates on March 8, 2024 with various types of businesses included. He ranks as the 159th global billionaire.

 

2)  Mr. Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, net asset value US$11.3 billion, food and beverage business;

 

3) Mr. Sarath  Ratanavadi, net asset value US$10.7 billion, energy business;

 

10) Tied at US$2.1 billion each are Link and Thaksin.

US12B doesn't really cut it these days. Old money ...

[dinsdale]

There is one missing from the list that would come in well ahead of the pack at number one.

[Ralf001]

K' Boss's old man Chalerm is worth 33 billion.

 

P' Thaksin would be outright 10th if they government gave back the money they stole from him..

Going through the list of top shareholders of the top Thai companies like Banks and such would reveal this pretty quickly, but any further discussion on this forum would be shut down quickly

[rexpotter]

Khun Dhanin looks like one miserable SOB.

[BayArea]

the list should actually say Thailand's Billionaires of Chinese descent. 

[soi3eddie]

No surprises here. Influential persons... Well connected for sure 🙂

Thaksin Among Top 10 Billionaires In Thailand, 

I read that he sold a Thai (the people's) satellite to Singapore. 

 

I'd be filthy rich too if I could sell public items.

[kingstonkid]

going to be interesting to see how Thaksin explailns that while he is part of the rich elite he is still a man or family of the people

[sammieuk1]

Then there will be another grey list of generals, ex-generals and police of all ranks plus a bunch of DPM's🤔
