10.   Andrew Gotianun and family - $1.2 billion (1175th overall)

11.   Roberto Ongpin - $1.2 billion (1175th overall)

 

Ten Filipinos and their families have joined Forbes Magazine's billionaires' club anew this year as well as a newcomer now listed among those with billion-dollar fortunes.

 

Still the Philippines' richest man, magnate Henry Sy saw his net worth swell from $9.1 billion in 2012 to $13.2 billion in 2013 making him the world's 68th wealthiest person.

 

"Shares of (Sy's) holding firm SM Investments, the country's most valuable company, surged by over 50 percent, fuelled by reports that it may merge its property units," Forbes said in the report released late Monday.

 

Tobacco and alcohol king Lucio Tan, meanwhile, saw his numbers increase by $500 million from last year, keeping him as the country's second richest and Forbes' 248th billionaire.

 

Port investor Enrique Razon, Jr., the third wealthiest Filipino, also earned $1.3 billion over a nine-month period, having recently taken the Solaire Resort and Casino at Manila Bay as his newest venture. This made him the 258th billionaire in Forbes' list.

 

New dollar billionaire Andrew Gotianun, the man behind real estate conglomerate Filinvest entered Forbes' chart this year after his fortune surged from $825 million in June 2012 to $1.2 billion this March.

Besides increasing his Filinvest shares to almost a third, Gotianun acquired East West Bank in 2012 and built Cebu's Crimson hospitality businesses. He is also eyeing on the expansion of Mactan International Airport, the magazine noted.

 

The Forbes' latest list, however, lacked latest data on notable names of other billionaire Filipinos such as the Ayala and Zobel families, John Gokongwei, Jr., Eduardo Cojuangco and Emilio Yap and identified in the 2012 report as seen below.
