Lin Chen-hai

  • The reclusive property mogul made his money by building modestly priced housing for Taiwan’s middle class through his privately held Pau Jar Group.
  • An early foray overseas also landed Lin in the middle of another hot growth story – the hyperactive real estate market in Australia.
  • In 2018, Lin swooped up stakes in China Bills Finance, Taishin and SinoPac, sending a shudder up the spine of Taiwan’s sleepy financial establishment.
