Thailand's Richest See Combined Wealth Decline

Thailand's top 50 richest individuals experienced a 12% wealth decline in 2024 due to political uncertainty and a weaker baht, with Red Bull co-owners rising to the No. 1 spot. Various billionaires maintained or lost rankings, such as the Charoen Pokphand Group falling from first place and the Central Group acquiring London's Selfridges. PM Srettha launched 'X-ray' operations to combat drug abuse, while a Thai teacher was banned for inappropriate livestreaming, and a senior judge was transferred due to molestation allegations. The Election Commission delayed Senate results amidst fraud claims.
