' Vincent Tan Suffers a $400 million Drop in Wealth '

FORBES


Vincent Tan suffered a $400 million drop in wealth over the past year as property and other Berjaya Corp. investments fell. He listed his retail chain 7-Eleven Malaysia last May, but shares have fallen.
Tan also listed e-payments provider MOL Global on Nasdaq in October but shares plummeted after a sharp drop in earnings, the resignation of its chief financial officer, and an error in its consolidated statements.

He initiated a share-buyback program and says he's confident of MOL's future. His biggest holding is a 23.4% stake in local telecom U Mobile.

Tan started working as a bank clerk when he was 17 and went on to set up Berjaya in 1984.
