Reward 500 Tiger-coinsIn the newly released Fortune 2025 “World’s 100 Most Influential Business Leaders” list, two Singapore business figures stood out.
$DBS(D05.SI)$ CEO Ms Tan Su Shan and $Sea Ltd(SE)$ CEO Forrest Li both made their debut.
Tan Su Shan ranked 28th, making her the highest-placed Singaporean business leader, surpassing $BlackRock(BLK)$’s Larry Fink and right behind Warren Buffett. She was also ranked 6th on Fortune’s “World’s Most Powerful Women” list in May, becoming a source of pride for Singapore’s business community. Forrest Li of Sea Group came in at 97th.
When the ranking was first published last year, Helen Wong, the first female head of a Singapore bank and CEO of $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ , was ranked 71st.
It’s worth noting that DBS Group and Sea Group are currently the only two Singaporean companies with a market capitalization exceeding USD 100 billion.

鉴于英伟达在推动人工智能热潮中所扮演的角色，黄仁勋上升到第一是当之无愧的。尽管如此，我的首选仍然是埃隆·马斯克。尽管存在争议，他仍继续颠覆从电动汽车到太空的多个行业，证明他的影响力不仅仅局限于一个行业。马斯克的大胆和雄心仍然让他从许多同行中脱颖而出。
对我来说，马斯克是最有影响力的领导者，因为他的远见和执行力。像这样的列表对投资者也很有用，因为它们突出了塑造未来的领导者和公司——而这些往往是长期机会所在。

Let that sink: a Singapore woman, leading South East Asia's largest bank, now standing shoulder to shoulder with the titans of global finance. It is a recognition of her impact, innovation & unshakeable leadership.
Tan Su Shan is not just a CEO. She is a symbol of female power, resilience & conviction. Tan Su Shan is proof that Singapore does not only produce great companies, it also produces world class leaders.
To every investor who chooses conviction of investing in DBS - this is our moment.
To every woman who wonders if she can lead at the highest level - Tan Su Shan is the answer.
To every Singaporean who dreams big, this is proof that it can happen.
Let's dream big.

I think Jensen Huang replacing musk is well deserved and he is number 1 to me. Musk is too eccentric to offer the stable vision and direction that the world wants. Also, he appears easily distracted by acquiring X and now also wanting to set up his own political party. Even for his own Tesla, he is losing ground in many markets to other EV companies that are rising up like BYD.
On the other hand, Jansen’s Nvidia is currently unrivalled. His chips are in high demand by many countries and they are required in many sectors, not just for AI or technology companies. As of now, no other company make better chips than him.
However, I won’t follow the list to invest. I would need diversity to manage my risk and maybe an ETF would be the easiest.
4. Continuous learning and improvement:
Musk prioritizes learning from his mistakes and uses that knowledge to enhance his ventures. This mindset has enabled him to navigate complex challenges.
5. Visionary thinking:
Musk's long-term vision for his companies and the world drives his resilience. He's willing to endure short-term setbacks for long-term success.
