The total personal assets of the three businessmen, who are running the biggest Vietnamese corporations are roughly 9 trillion dong. The common characteristic of the three businessmen is that they do not have university degree.
The three most famous Vietnamese businessmen have been very succeeding in their business fields. However, they did not follow the university education for some reasons. Their stories can prove that university degree is not the most important thing that leads to success.
Doan Nguyen Duc, Chair of Hoang Anh Gia Lai
The Chair of one of the biggest corporations in Vietnam was born in 1963 in Binh Dinh province. Duc did not follow university education, and only finished high school. However, his will and business ideas are in no way inferior to any other successful businessmen in Vietnam.
In 1990s, Duc set up a small workshop, specializing in making tables and chairs for students, which has turned into the powerful Hoang Anh Gia Lai. The carpenter workshop has become a big corporation which operates in different business fields, from minerals, wooden furniture, rubber to hydropower and real estate.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s shares made debut on the stock market in December 2008. The total initial volume of listed shares was 180 million shares, while the figure has increased to 537 million with the market capitalization value of 16,067 billion dong.
Duc holds 48.32 percent of Hoang Anh Gia Lai stakes (259.67 million shares), worth 7763 billion dong, if considering that Hoang Anh Gia Lai shares were traded at 29,700 dong per share on August 10.
Duc came second in the 2011’s list of the 100 stock millionaires published by VnExpress newspaper. Hoang Anh Gia Lai has reported the profit of 49 billion dong.
Le Phuoc Vu – Chair of Hoa Sen Group
