Thai Billionaire Creator Of Red Bull Passes Away

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Moye

Did you know that Red Bull was created by some Thai guy named Chaleo Yoovidhya? Yeah, the go to energy drink for exhausted college students…at least, when I was in college. Via USA Today: “Forbes magazine, which ranked Chaleo the 205th richest man in the world this year with a net worth of $5 billion dollars, said he was 80 years old. Born in central Thailand’s Pichit province to a Chinese father and a Thai mother who reportedly sold fruit and ducks to survive, Chaleo died the third richest man in Thailand.” RIP Chaleo. You earned your wings by giving us wings. (Get it??)

About Moye

I am a Japanese-American girl who was born, raised and is most probably stuck in traffic right this second in Los Angeles. I'm currently one of the co-editors of 8Asians and like to distract myself with good food, reading long books, playing video games, catching up on celebrity news, choosing my new new haircut and then writing all about it on Hello Moye and sometimes here on Twitter if I can get it in under 140 words or less. You can reach me at moye[at]8asians.com.
