Forbes Singapore’s 50 richest: Here’s who got richer in 2026—and who lost billions

Forbes released its 2026 Singapore's 50 Richest list on Sept 3, with combined wealth flat at US$239 billion. 35 of 50 listees got richer, but tech-related wealth declined sharply—Eduardo Saverin's net worth fell US$10.1B to US$32.9B, though he remained #1 for the fourth year. Notable tech figures include Forrest Li (Sea, US$7.7B), Gang Ye (Sea, US$4.3B), Min-Liang Tan (Razer, US$1.75B), and Teo Swee Ann (Espressif, US$1.48B).

Why: Almost nothing actionable here for builders. The only useful signal is that Sea Limited's founders (Forrest Li at #10, Gang Ye at #14) remain the most relevant Southeast Asian tech entrants on the list, and Espressif's Teo Swee Ann (#40) is a rare hardware/semiconductor name—relevant if you ship IoT or embedded products using ESP32 chips.
