Profil Financier
Suh Kyung-bae occupe actuellement le rang #2736 du classement mondial StarFortune (secteur luxe, mode & beauté). Fortune nette estimée : $1.4 B (+$317 sur 24h).
Suh Kyung-bae is the chairman of Amorepacific, South Korea's largest cosmetic and skincare maker by revenue.
He's capitalized on the Hallyu wave, a keen interest in Korean pop culture that has swept Asia and the U.S.
The only one out of six children interested in the business, Suh joined the company in the 1980s and became CEO in 1997.
Amorepacific traces its roots to Suh's grandmother, who sold camellia oil as a hair treatment across the Korean peninsula.
In the 1960s Amorepacific hired women who went from door to door selling products on commission; some of them had lost their husbands in the Korean War.
