Berjaya Group founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan and his brother, Tropicana Corp Bhd founder Tan Sri Danny Tan Chee Sing, have a combined net worth of RM7 billion
In Forbes' Malaysia's 50 Richest 2026 list published on Wednesday, 15 April, Vincent is ranked 29th with a net worth of USD940 million (RM3.7 billion).
Meanwhile, his brother Danny is placed three spots behind at 32nd, with a net worth of USD850 million (RM3.3 billion).
According to the US business magazine, Vincent stepped down from Berjaya's board in 2012 when he turned 60, before returning as executive chairman five years later.
He began his career at 17 as a bank clerk, later moving into life insurance. In 1980, he secured the McDonald's franchise for Malaysia.
Today, the 74-year-old billionaire's wealth is derived from his stake in privately held U Mobile, a 41% stake in 7-Eleven Malaysia, as well as Berjaya, which has business interests ranging from financial services to property development.
His wealth spans retail, gaming, and property, among other sectors.
Meanwhile, his brother Danny is a property tycoon behind the Tropicana Corp empire, which he founded in 1979
Forbes reported that the 70-year-old businessman owns a vast land bank in the Iskandar region of Johor.
He stepped away from Tropicana's day-to-day operations in 2015, before returning as executive vice chairman in 2019.
His eldest son, Dickson, was deputy group CEO until he resigned in 2020 for health-related reasons, while his other son, Dion Tan, resigned as managing director in February 2024 but remains on the board.
Meanwhile, his other son, Din — who holds a Master's degree in management from the London School of Economics and Political Science — was appointed group chief executive in October 2025.
Tatler Asia described Danny as a visionary founder who pioneered gated and resort-style living, helping to shape Malaysia's modern property landscape.
He began his entrepreneurial journey alongside his older brother after an early struggle as an encyclopaedia salesman.
He later joined AIA as a life insurance agent before the brothers ventured into a reconditioned vehicle business. They went on to secure a dealership from Hino to sell heavy vehicles and machinery, and by 1980, had become dealers for Toyota and Proton cars.
The brothers later expanded into property development, completing various projects including condominiums, shophouses, and mixed housing developments, before Danny struck out on his own at the age of 35.
