Vincent Tan - $$$ or £££ ?

So then: Is he worth 2 Billion dollars? or 2 Billion pounds sterling?

in America - one billion is equivalent to 1 million million [1,000,000,000,000]
BUT
in the UK one billion is equivalent to 1 thousand million [1,000,000,000]

How rich exactly is vincent tan?

when they show his wealth - they always seem to show the $ symbol?

does he have $2 Bazonga's or £2 Bazonga's ? because £2b is = to $2881429188.87 (usd)

and if thats the case - he has enough money to basically ......



















Do what ever the f**k he likes!

Baz the mathematician and understudy of Albert Einstein shall probably be along shortly to bring some sordid quotes along to the thread - to totally take it off the topic in hand - you just watch...............................................................................................

I'm pretty sure a US Billion is the same number as a UK Billion.

It's short scale v long scale numbering or something. Quite a few European companies use the long scale, but US is the same as the UK.

$1billion is roughly £700million isn't it

he can buy a lot of ladyboys in thailand with that wonga

Its slightly more complicated than that as its not as if VT keeps all his hard earned in the bank. The OP was probably looking at something produced by "nosey bastards" which will be an assessment of his "net worth" which is generally asset based as this is easier to estimate. What VT's personal worth is anyones guess and will be spread around numerous currencies, he probably has several highly skiled people just looking after his bank accounts on a hourly/daily basis. For example your $1b = £700m would probably fluctuate on a minute by minute basis, one minute it could be £706 million, the next £698 million He is seriously, seriously wealthy but whether any of that will be invested in CCFC remains to be seen.

Yeah that was just an example

The question was, is $1bn: $1,000,000,000 or $1,000,000,000,000 ie £700m or £700bn!

In answer to the first question though,

in 2009 he was listed as being worth around $750m according to Forbes (around £500m) whereas this year it's meant to be more like $1.3bn (around £900m)

So this year he made £400 Million I will be happy if he repeats that every year.

To put it in my best Caerphilly terms for you...... He's got tumps

well all i know is that he drives a gold royals royce and looks like a gangster, so he must be minted
