Sy, Zobel, Aboitiz pasok sa Asia’s richest — Forbes

PASOK ang tatlong mayayamang pamilyang Filipino sa 50 richest families ng Forbes sa Asya.

Kinabibilangan ito ng pamilya Sy, Zobel at Aboitiz.

Nasa ika-13 pwesto ang pamilya ni Henry Sy na nagmamay-ari ng SM investment corporation na may estimated net worth na $12.3 billion.

Kinilala ng Forbes ang pagpupursige ni Sy para mapalago ang kanilang negosyo na nag-umpisa noong 1958.

“Henry Sy worked at a young age for his family’s convenience store. He later started a small shoe store in Manila and built it into SM Prime, the country’s largest mall developer. The family’s interests now range from banking to retail, and growth plans involve building ‘micro cities’ around some of its existing mall properties,” pahayag ng Forbes sa 2015 Asia’s Richest Families.

Pasok sa 35th place ang pamilya Zobel na nagmamay-ari ng Ayala Corp. at tinatayang may net worth na $4.2 billion.

“Seventh generation runs conglomerate Ayala Corp., one of the Philippines’ oldest businesses. It started off as a small distillery in Manila 181 years ago, and is now one of country’s largest conglomerates and a holding company for publicly traded Ayala Land, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Globe Telecom and Manila Water,” base sa pahayag ng Forbes.

Pangatlo sa Filipino families na nakapasok sa Forbes 50 richest families ang pamilya Aboitiz na may net worth na $3.6 billion.

“The family controls Cebu-based publicly listed conglomerate Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV), with interests in power, transportation, banking, food and property.”
