Henry sy business

Every time we hear the name Henry Sy, the first thing that comes to our mind would be SM, a business taipan, and how rich he is. Who wouldn’t? He is just the richest man in the Philippines for fifth year in a row now. That is why everyone is curious about his success story as a Filipino Chinese entrepreneur.

Mr. Sy is the founder of SM Group and chairman of SM Prime Holdings, the largest retailer and shopping mall operator in the Philippines. SM malls were among the largest mall in the world based on gross leasable area as of 2012 (SM City North EDSA at no. 3 and Mall of Asia in Pasay at no. 10). But would you believe that this man who literally overflows with money was once just a poor boy? Hard to imagine that but the Retailer King actually was just a striving Chinese boy who was determined to find a way out of the poverty.

Born Sy Chi Sieng in a small village in southern China on December 25, 1932 to a poor family, Henry become eager t Henry sys family!
