Facebook's Eduardo Saverin ranks 8th in Forbes richest list

Guess who else placed in Singapore's 40 wealthiest people.

In a release, Brazil-born Facebook cofounder debuts on list after renouncing his American citizenship last year, news of which broke days before Facebook's IPO and drew accusations of tax evasion. His response: "My decision to expatriate was based solely on my interest in working and living in Singapore, where I have been since 2009."

He arrived in Asia after settling lawsuit with former best friend Mark Zuckerberg and the social network. He has since invested in startups, including Qwiki and Jumio, which created the online payment company Netswipe.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
