The Chinese diaspora (i.e. ethnic Chinese who are citizens of a country outside Greater China) are world-renowned for their financial and business prowess. It is not surprising that they are well represented among the world’s wealthiest people. Yet, compared to other diaspora groups, overseas Chinese and their achievements are often overlooked by foreign media. They are also typically analyzed based on nationality rather than ethnicity. Accordingly, to address this information gap in the public discourse, this website compiles background information of the world’s top 12 wealthiest overseas Chinese businesspeople based on the data from the most recent Forbes Billionaires List to shed light on this low-key but globally influential group of billionaires and titans of industry, who are especially prominent in the tech sector.
