With a net worth of $6.7 billion, Terry Gou is a wealthy tycoon from Taiwan.
Foxconn, a multinational electronics contract manufacturing company, was founded by Terry Gou, who is also known as Hon Hai, in 1974.
The company’s growth has made it the world’s largest electronics contract manufacturer in terms of revenues. Gou’s factories, which produce popular gadgets such as the iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Xbox, PlayStation, and Wii, collectively hold around 40% of the world’s consumer electronic products, but at a high cost due to allegations of unsafe and unfair labor practices.
Gou’s ownership of Hon Hai, which has a workforce of 1.2 million, accounts for approximately 13% of the company’s total ownership.
