Andrew Tan Net Worth

Andrew Tan has an estimated net worth of $1.8 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Andrew Tan profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is down from a peak of $3 billion.

Andrew Tan is a Filipino businessman who leads Alliance Global, a holding company with interests in food and beverage, gaming, hospitality, and real estate. He built his fortune by developing large apartment complexes around Manila, then expanded into a wider group of businesses. His companies include Megaworld, a property developer, and Emperador, a liquor business. Tan is self-made, and Forbes placed his wealth at $1.8 billion on its real-time tracker on October 20, 2026.

His rise in business came from property first, then from building a bigger conglomerate through Alliance Global. Megaworld focuses on condominiums and related property projects, while Emperador grew into the world's largest brandy company by sales volume. Another group company operates McDonald's franchises. A small detail from his early career stands out: at his 1974 graduation from the University of the East, his father bought a bottle of brandy, which was Tan's first time trying it.

How Andrew Tan built his wealth

Tan's money comes from a diversified set of businesses under Alliance Global. Forbes says he chairs the holding company, which spans food and beverage, gaming, hospitality, and real estate. The base of his fortune was property. He made his early gains by developing large apartment complexes around Manila. From there, he built a broader group with real estate still playing a major role through Megaworld and its related businesses.

Another major piece is Emperador. Alliance Global runs the company, and Forbes says it is the world's largest brandy company by sales volume. The group also includes a business that operates McDonald's franchises. On the property side, Megaworld remains important to the overall picture. Kevin Tan serves as chief executive of Alliance Global and as executive director of Megaworld, linking the parent company to one of its biggest assets.

Forbes net worth and business plans

Forbes tracked big moves in Tan's fortune over time. It estimated his wealth at $2.7 billion in 2019, then $1.9 billion in 2020. The figure rose to $3 billion in 2021 before easing to $2.8 billion in 2022 and $2.5 billion in 2023. Forbes then put him at $2 billion in 2024 and $1.6 billion in 2025, showing how the value of a diversified business empire can shift from year to year.

In 2026, Forbes estimated Tan at $1.7 billion on its World's Billionaires List, and later at $1.8 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker. One clear business plan in the group is Megaworld's investment push. Forbes says the company is investing 350 billion pesos ($6.3 billion) from 2023 to 2027 to build townships across the Philippines. That kind of long-term property spending helps explain why real estate remains central to Tan's wealth.
