Sy siblings still the Philippines’ richest in 2024, according to Forbes Asia
MANILA, Philippines – The Sy siblings – heirs to one of the biggest conglomerates in the country – are still the Philippines’ richest in 2024, according to Forbes Asia.
Their combined net worth inched down this year to $13 billion from $14.4 billion in 2023 because of the weaker peso, which Forbes Asia said affected many of the country’s wealthiest.
“While the country’s benchmark stock market index gained 2% since fortunes were last measured, the peso fell 6%. As a result, more than half of the country’s 50 richest are less wealthy this year,” Forbes Asia said in a statement on Thursday, August 8.
Here’s a list of the Philippines’ top 10 richest in 2024:
- Sy siblings, $13 billion
- Enrique Razon, $11.1 billion
- Manuel Villar, $10.9 billion
- Ramon Ang, $3.8 billion
- Isidro Consunji and siblings, $3.4 billion
- Tony Tan Caktiong, $2.9 billion
- Lucio Tan, $2.65 billion
- Jaime Zobel de Ayala, $2.6 billion
- Lucio & Susan Co, $2.3 billion
- Aboitiz Family, $2.2 billion
