Biography

  • Lin Chen-hai built his fortune by developing affordable housing for Taiwan's middle class through his privately held Pau Jar Group.
  • An early foray overseas also landed Lin in the middle of another hot growth story - the real estate market in Australia.
  • In 2018, Lin swooped up stakes in China Bills Finance, Taishin and SinoPac, sending a shudder up the spine of Taiwan's sleepy financial establishment.
  • He also acquired stakes in the listed Far Eastern Department Stores and castings supplier Yeong Guan group.
  • In 2020, through his TSE Foundation, Lin established the Taipei School of Economics and Political Science at the National Tsing Hua University.
