Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun[2] (Chinese: 陳志遠; pinyin: Chén Zhìyuǎn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân Chì-uán; born 23 February 1952) is a Malaysian businessman, investor and philanthropist who is a founder and chairperson of Berjaya Corporation, a diversified conglomerate listed on the Malaysian stock exchange. Besides holding stakes through the Berjaya Corporation group of companies, Tan's other stakes include interest in internet–related businesses, water utilities, media, retail and telecommunications.

In 2010, he entered the Forbes billionaire list, with an estimated worth of USD 1.6 billion (RM4.2 billion).[3] Tan's success in the Malaysian business sector has been attributed in part to his close association with prominent Malay political figures.[2][4] As of April 2024, Forbes estimated his net worth at $730 million, making him the 29th richest person in Malaysia.[1]
