Vincent Tan Chee Yioun[2] (Chinese: 陳志遠; pinyin: Chén Zhìyuǎn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân Chì-uán; born 1952) is a Malaysian Chinese businessman and investor. He is the founder of Berjaya Corporation Berhad, a diversified conglomerate listed on the Malaysian stock exchange. Besides holding stakes through the Berjaya Corporation group of companies, Tan's other stakes include interest in internet–related businesses, water utilities, media, retail and telecommunications.
In 2010, he entered the Forbes billionaire list with an estimated worth of USD 1.6 billion (RM4.2 billion).[3] Tan's success in the Malaysian business sector has been attributed in part to his close association with prominent Malay political figures.[2][4] As of May 2023, Forbes estimated his net worth at $695 million, making him the 28th richest person in Malaysia.[1]
