Top 10 Richest Asian Americans By Net Worth

Asian Americans are out there everywhere making bank in tech, sports, entertainment, music. You name it, they’re crushing it. But the ten people on this list aren’t just rich. They’re influential, bold, and redefining what success looks like. From international superstars to tech geniuses, their contributions prove beyond a doubt that talent, vision, and some serious hardcore hustle actually do pay off (and pay off pretty well). This list isn't definitive, but it's definitely bougie.

10. Jeremy Lin | Net worth: about $36 million

Jeremy Lin, aka the original “Linsanity,” is still making sports history. When he took the Knicks on that unforgettable streak (and us along with them), the entire world rooted, and fans rejoiced. As one of the few Asian Americans who broke onto the NBA spotlight with both the Knicks and the Raptors, he showed how grit and skill can not only crush stereotypes but also win championships.

9. Priyanka Chopra Jonas  | Net worth: about $80 million

Priyanka Chopra Jonas rose to fame in Bollywood before making history in the U.S. as the first South Asian lead on network TV with Quantico. After marrying Nick Jonas, she became an American citizen and expanded her empire with a production company, brand deals, and her haircare line, Anomaly. More than a star, she’s a global force, using her platform to break barriers and advocate for women’s rights.

8. Bruno Mars  | Net worth: about $175 million

Bruno Mars mixes funk, R&B, pop, and soul, and it all just works. With his Filipino and Puerto Rican roots, his sound is a cultural and musical genre mashup that hits perfectly. You’ve seen him perform. You know his energy and voice are unreal. Swooners love a crooner.

7. Keanu Reeves  | Net worth: about $380 million

Whoa. As an actor of Hawaiian, English, Irish, and Chinese descent, Keanu Reeves is a Hollywood legend everyone not-so-secretly loves. From The Matrix to John Wick, he’s been killing it on screen for decades. And off screen? Total mensch. Humble, generous, kind, and absolutely respectful. He’s the rare celebrity who really does live up to the hype.

6. Steve Chen  | Net worth: about $500 million

Steve Chen co-founded YouTube. Yeah, that YouTube. Just think about how that one platform has changed the world. Millions of people get to share their unique voice (and a butt load of cat videos) every day because of him. And he’s a Taiwanese American immigrant who literally helped shape the internet as we know it today.

5. Eric Yuan  | Net worth: about $620 million

Next time you’re stuck in an online meeting that could have been an email, thank Eric Yuan. He founded Zoom, the video conferencing giant that became a household name during the pandemic, because he was tired of having to take long train rides to visit his girlfriend in China. Yuan became a billionaire and a symbol of tech innovation when he launched Zoom in 2011. He moved to the US from China in the 90s, became a citizen in 2007, and overcame nine visa rejections along the way. His journey is a classic American immigrant success story. Now, turn on your camera and unmute yourself already! No one likes a lurker.

4. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson  | Net worth: about $800 million (media estimates)

The Rock is…well, The Rock. From WWE to blockbuster movies to his tequila brand Teremana, the Rock is on a literal roll (pause for groan). Yes, we can smell exactly what he’s cooking. He’s proud of his Samoan and Black heritage and constantly uses his platform to motivate, inspire, and just be a genuinely awesome human being. We hear an Academy Award may soon be in his future. Fingers crossed.

3. Tiger Woods  | Net worth: about $1.3 billion

Tiger Woods didn’t just dominate golf, he changed it forever winning fifteen (fifteen!) major championships, while breaking through all kinds of barriers as an athlete of both Thai and African American descent. His influence goes beyond the green. It’s cultural and historic.

2. Jay Chaudhry  | Net worth: about $16.5 billion

Jay Chaudhry made his mark and his billions in cybersecurity. A serial entrepreneur, he hit it big when his company Zscaler went public in 2018. Born in a tiny Indian village without electricity, he came to the US for grad school and eventually became a citizen. Today, he is one of tech’s quiet power players, which makes sense, since he’s in cybersecurity and all. Maybe he can make sure Alexa isn’t eavesdropping on us?

1. Jensen Huang  | Net worth: about $150 billion

Jensen Huang is the CEO and co-founder of NVIDIA, the company that’s behind the chips that are powering gaming, AI, and autonomous tech. A Taiwanese American immigrant, he’s at the center of the AI boom, reshaping technology and amassing one of the biggest fortunes on the planet. Now if he can only keep Skynet from becoming a real thing…
