Despite his mansion in the man-made hills of his Vincom Village and Bentley, Pham lives rather modestly and focuses much of his free time and energy on his own charitable foundation. His preferred pastime is watching martial arts movies and his preferred vacations are to his own beach resort at Nha Trang. And to think, it all started from ramen noodles!
Over the last several decades, the heart of Ho Chi Minh City has been transformed from a ravaged war zone into a thriving cosmopolitan landscape on par with New York City or Hong Kong. One of the main drivers of this transformations has been The Vincom Center A. The Vincom Center A is a 410,000 square foot commercial space with a 5-star, 300 room hotel, high end tenants including Versace, Hermes, and Dior, and three floors of underground parking. It is a $500 million development that could just as easily be found on Rodeo Drive, Fifth Avenue, or Palm Beach. The man behind Vincom Center A is Pham Nhat Vuong, a 44-year old real estate developer who is the richest person in Vietnam. Hes actually Vietnams very first billionaire with a net worth of $1.5 billion. And believe it or not, Phams entire empire, which includes real estate, resorts, hotels, shopping centers and much more… started out very humbly, selling instant ramen noodles to the people of Ukraine.
But theres more to the story. While Pham was building his noodle empire in the Ukraine, he was funneling money back to projects in Vietnam, preparing to return to build an even bigger post-communist fortune. In 1999 Pham took a trip to the Vietnamese beach city of Nha Trang. Two years prior, Vietnam had managed to dodge the Asian Financial Crisis and the economy was booming. Trade relations with the U.S. were good, and the private sector was being supported. From 2000 to 2006 Vietnams GDP grew by at least 6% a year.
The foreign financing is key, as Vietnams real estate and stock market are still in crisis and wary of wild growth and spending. This makes it nearly impossible for Pham to raise money domestically. Phams achievements will serve as his legacy in the still fairly newly capitalistic country. His mom sold tea from a cart on the roadside. Pham dreams of Hanoi and Saigon one day resembling Hong Kong and Singapore.
Based on the Ukrainians response to his noodles, Pham gave opted to take a risk. Instead of running a small noodle shop forever, he chose to grab for the brass ring. Pham borrowed money at an interest rate that in the U.S. would surely be considered usury (8% a month) and expanded his noodle operations to include the dehydrated mixes used to season noodle soup by Vietnamese soup. A Ramen King was born!
