top ten richest people in the philippines?

Answer 1

I read a list once, and every so often there is a list on the richest in the world, in Asia, in the Philippines, etc.

But quite honestly, I do not care about the list. It doesn't do anything for me. It can not cause me any envy, neither can it give me inspiration. I can not even get within smelling distance of their wealth, so I just do not bother.

Lucio Tan
Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala

John Gokongwei Jr.
Tony Tan Caktiong

Answer 4

Let's start with the FG (Arroyo) himself.
Then there's Abalos.
And JoJo Bolante
And ex gov Singsong
Even Erap must have made something (even though he spent it again).
And Imelda (what's 3000 pairs of shoes worth?)
Then I'm sure there's somebody called Go... doesn't really matter, because in a few years Philippines will be a colony of China.
Well guys, that's all I can think of for now. ~~ Peace

Answer 5

Shirley g, how come those Filipino "billionaires" never get mentioned in international press. I have read about a billionaire Chinese lady and a billionaire Mexican. The Mexican is believed to be richer than Bill Gates.

P.S. I submitted my name to the international press but they rejected it because they said I could only verify $1.99 in my bank acount......lol.....Di na kayo mabiro.
