Elon Musk Fanboy Has $4.6 Billion Worth Of Tesla Stock
Highlights
Elon Musk has fanboys all around the world, but one particular fanboy has managed to accrue a position worth $4.6 billion in Tesla stock alone. Koguan Leo is the man in question who had managed to stay largely under the radar. He is not well known apart from having graduated from Columbia University and New York Law School, he is the founder of SHI international which is quite a large IT company.
"Koguan Leo started and founded SHI International Corp. in 1989. He is the Founder and Chairman of the Board. He graduated from New York Law School in 1985 with a Juris Doctor (JD) and Columbia University in 1982 with a Master of International Affairs (MIA). In his honour, KoGuan Law School of Shanghai Jiao Tong University is named after him. He is also a Global Trustee Emeriti of Asia Society," said his official bio on the SHI international website.
More recently, he made waves by purchasing a penthouse in Singapore which was worth $54 million and was once owned by James Dyson, the founder of vacuum cleaner maker Dyson. The Chinese American billionaire has become quite active on Twitter off late and has revealed that he is a self-proclaimed Elon Musk fanboy.
On Twitter, he has claimed that he is the third-largest individual investor in Tesla which has now become the most valuable automotive company in the world. Martin Viecha who is the head of investor relations at Tesla has confirmed this to be a fact. Kuguan Leo has 6.2 million shares of Tesla and that would put him behind just Elon Musk and Oracle founder, Larry Ellison.
Leo even claimed that he will rise and fall with Tesla and he will keep buying the stock. Ark Invest which has a large Tesla portfolio has been selling its stock for a while and Leo has said that he will be buying their stock share as well.
