The assets and position of Vietnamese billionaire, Pham Nhat Vuong, are constantly fluctuating compared to other billionaires, according to Forbes.

With his current wealth, Vuong ranks 35th on the Forbes list of the richest people globally, dropping three places from his previous ranking of 33rd. Despite this, he remains the richest man in Southeast Asia and is ranked fifth in Asia overall.

This ranking is compiled by TripAdvisor based on traveler reviews over the past 12 months. Accordingly, the city voted the most by tourists is Rome (Italy). The Italian capital attracts tourists with delicious dishes such as pasta, gelato ice cream, fried artichoke flowers, and other dishes. The second place belongs to Crete (Greece). In third place is Hanoi. Photo: nymmm The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments, and colonial architecture, while making room for modern developments alongside. Hanoi may have shrugged off several former names, including Thang Long, or “ascending dragon,” but it hasn’t forgotten its past, as sites such as Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison attest.
