Dr. Tei-Fu Chen, founder and chairman of the board of Sunrider International, has been selected by Forbes Asia magazine (August 2010) as one of the “25 most notable Chinese-Americans.” By earning this distinction, Dr. Chen takes his place on an illustrious list of “entrepreneurs, innovators, and businesspeople who left home and made their mark in the U.S.”
The methodology used to determine the list was based on a survey of prominent bankers, investors, business associations, scholars, and entrepreneurs. Other criteria considered were leadership within the industry and community, as well as “scale of economic success, such as wealth and jobs created.” To qualify, an honoree had to be born in Mainland China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong, and to have citizenship in the U.S. (second-generation not included).
This accolade was preceded by Dr. Chen also being listed in Forbes Asia magazine (March 2009) as one of the world’s “48 Heroes of Philanthropy.” A special report in this issue recognized Dr. Chen’s global philanthropic achievements that span over a decade.
