NO amount of money can protect business tycoons from forming part of the daily fresh cases of COVID-19 infection in the country, and that would include the country’s 3rd richest person.
In an Instagram post, no less than Lucio Tan’s daughter Vivienne admitted that her dad has been hit by the deadly virus from Wuhan, China.
According to the young Tan, her father is now stable and is recovering after being admitted to the coronary ward of the Philippine General Hospital for COVID-19.
She requested for two things from the public – prayers and privacy.
As chairman of the board of the LT Group of Companies, Tan has the controlling stake in Philip Morris-Fortune Tobacco, Asia Brewery, Tanduay Distillers and Eton Properties, from where he amassed the wealth that made him the third richest person in the Philippines and 925th worldwide, with an estimated net worth of $3.3 billion, or at least P160 billion.
