N5. Goh Cheng Liang – $4 billion
Remember when we mentioned about the half that made billions from paintings? Well, here is the perfect example for that statement.
Goh Cheng Liang is a paint magnate with a philanthropic streak, who has recently donated $40 million for the National Cancer Center Singapore.
This media-shy billionaire recently cut a deal with Nippon Paint to double his stake in the company.
The company is run by Wuthelam Group, so it will expand his influence in paint to Malaysia, China, Vietnam and India.
Goh Cheng Liang has a net worth estimated at $4 billion which makes him the fifth richest man in Singapore.
