According to the Forbes rich list

Peter Lim is the 736 richest man in the world with a fortune of $2 billion

Former stockbroker Peter Lim has been busy dealmaking since cashing out from palm oil producer Wilmar International in 2010. Stepped up investments in Malaysia recently by partnering state-owned property developer UEM Land Holdings to build Motorsport City, a $1.2 billion motor racing complex in Johor's Iskandar region. His Thomson Medical is partnering with Johor's royal family to build a medical hub there as part of a $ 3 billion integrated development called Vantage Bay being developed by Rowsley, a company that Lim also controls. His other interests include stakes in Chinese property developer Yanlord Land, retailer FJ Benjamin and British automaker McLaren.


Vincent Tan is the 1107 richest man in the world with a fortune of $1.3 billion

Vincent Tan urned over the chairmanship of his conglomerate Berjaya Group to son Robin, who is also chief executive. Berjaya Corp. shares lost ground as uncertainly in an election year bedeviled two of its main industries, property and gaming. In August it opened the first RadioShack store in Kuala Lumpur and plans 1,000 more in Southeast Asia over 10 years. Won approval to list its lottery operator, Sports Toto, in Singapore. Property arm is developing a $3.5 billion resort in South Korea's Jeju Island. Tan got his start working as a bank clerk and insurance salesman but his break came at the age of 29 when he bought his first McDonald's franchise. He caused a stir last summer when he changed the jersey colors of his Cardiff Football Club from blue to red with a new dragon crest. He recently signed the Giving Pledge, committing to donating half his wealth during his lifetime.
