Daniel Tsai

Daniel Tsai, with his brother Richard, controls the various subsidiaries and investments of the great Fubon Group, including Taiwan Mobile, Taiwan Fixed Network and Fubon Bank. They consider themselves more of “Generation 1.5”, having not only taken over the family business from their father but expanding it into a massive empire whose services affect the daily lives of millions of Taiwanese. In recent years, they have positioned Taiwan Mobile as an internet company focusing on digital convergence of telecommunications, the internet, media and entertainment.

One of the company’s most recent accomplishments is launching the streaming platform Disney+ in Taiwan, with the vision of making his mark in media.

Together, the brothers are ranked third in Forbes Taiwan’s Richest 2021, with a net worth of US$7.9 billion. A Georgetown Law graduate, Daniel has endowed a scholarship fund named after him to support ten Masters of Law students from Taiwan. As of April 2022, Tsai’s net worth alone was estimated at US$4.9 billion.
