Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Net Worth

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was born on June 05, 1958 in Bangkok, Thailand, Thailand. Thailand's tourism boom drew a record 32.6 million visitors in 2016, more than a fourth of them mainland Chinese. Thanks to their spending, sales at Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's King Power duty-free stores were up 20% to $2.4 billion last year, adding $1.45 billion to his wealth and earning him a spot in the top five for the first time. But this growth faces speed bumps: the military junta has started cracking down on cut-price group tours from China and is set to end King Power's airport monopoly in 2020. To expand beyond duty-free, Vichai picked up a 21% stake in Thai Air Asia for $225 million in the past year. The football fan, who transformed Leicester City into a Premiere League champ, reportedly agreed to buy Belgian second-tier football team Oh Leuven for an undisclosed sum.
