Enrique Razon Jr. inherited access to a family port business but created much of today's scale by expanding ICTSI internationally and building additional holdings in gaming, water, energy and infrastructure. [1][2]
He started inside an established family port business
Forbes says Razon's grandfather started the family's port business in Manila in 1916 and that his father rebuilt it after World War II. [1]
Razon nevertheless began at the bottom of the family enterprise, leaving school at 17 to take a minimum-wage job in its cargo-loading operation and working his way through the ranks. [1]
That combination represents a meaningful inherited advantage, but not passive ownership: the operating platform existed before him while his own career began in hands-on port work. [1]
He created global scale well beyond the inherited base
Forbes credits Razon with growing ICTSI into an international ports operator spanning Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Americas, while ICTSI identifies him as chairman since 1995 and a director since 1987. [1][2]
He also built major interests in casinos, water, energy and infrastructure, supporting a fortune in which inherited family access was important but much of the modern scale was created under his own leadership. [1][2]
