hindsight is always 20/20,its always easier to say it was less difficult to come up before compared to times today. But i've seen so many come up today as well and im sure by the time these guys are 60,70 years old they would definitely be richer than all these taipans we always hear about.

look at the owner of ambergris..put up the company in early 2000 and sold it for 30 million dollars. he was probably less than 30... what about the owner of ibank? he came up from no where as well... and got bought out.. but thats a different story all together.

there are so many... you just dont hear about them as much as you do about henry sy and gokonwei.

google owners came up fast, so did lakshmi mittal. opportunities always arise and people will continue to make money out of it. in the 50's it could have been selling shoes... now you have technology, property development, commodities.. who knows what it is in the next ten years.

so are you guys saying that only the ayala's and sy's will get richer in the philippines? i highly doubt it.
