Here’s a look at the top 10 millionaires in Singapore, according to the latest Forbes ranking
The number of billionaires in Singapore is increasing.
The Forbes 2026 Worlds Billionaire list, released yesterday (Mar 11), revealed that there are now more billionaires than ever in the city-state: 55.
This is up from 49 in 2025 and 39 in 2024—and is more than double the 26 billion reported for 2022.
The total net worth of Singapore’s billionaires also increased, reaching about US$155.7 billion (S$198.14 billion) in 2026, compared to US$145.2 billion in 2025, reflecting both the growth of existing wealth and the addition of new entrants.
Among the 55 billionaires on this year’s Forbes list, a mix of tech founders, real estate magnates, restaurateurs, and heirs hold wealth positions. Here’s a look at Singapore’s top 10 billionaires by 2026.

Leading the pack is Jason Chang, who tops the chart with an estimated net worth of US$14.2 billion (S$18 billion), who made his fortune in semiconductor packaging and testing as chairman of Taiwan-based Advanced Semiconductor Engineering.

Next to Chang is Li Xiting, who is worth an estimated US$11.2 billion (S$14 billion). He is the founder and president of medical device company Mindray, which is China’s largest medical device manufacturer.
The property sector continues to be a major source of wealth in Singapore. Brothers Philip Ng and Robert Ng, co-chairmen of Far East Organisation, the city’s largest private housing developer, followed closely behind, coming third and fourth on the list, respectively.
The former has an estimated net worth of US$7.2 billion, while his elder brother is worth about US$7.1 billion.
