Filipino real estate mogul Jose Antonio has a net worth of $400 million. He founded Century Properties in 1986 with just six people. The company develops high-end real estate and has gone through several tough times that dampened the business. These include the 1989 coup attempt, the power crisis in the early ’90s and the Asian financial crisis in 1997. Currently, it has high-end condo projects across Manila and workforce of over 3,000. It also has licensing deals with Forbes Media, Donald Trump, Giorgio Armani and Paris Hilton.

All his four sons have executive roles in the company. In 2017, Robbie joined him in the list of richest Filipinos after his Revolution Prefabricated, a maker of factory-built luxury homes, secured an investment and was valued at $256 million from VC firm 500 Startups.

Antonio built signature residential building, the Centurion, in Manhattan, designed by I.M. Pei and son. He founded and chairs the Philippine-China Business Council and served as the Philippines' special envoy to China. He was named by President Rodrigo Duterte as special envoy of trade to the U.S. in November 2016.

Jose Antonio is a big fan of magnate Warren Buffet while he also shows admiration to techies Mark Zuckerberg for his game-changing Facebook, and Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia and Nathan Blecharczyk, founders of the online marketplace and homestay network Airbnb.
