Biography

Wei Yin-Heng and his three brothers, Ing-Chou, Yin-Chun and Ying-Chiao, started Tingyi in 1991.

The family also controls the Dicos fried-chicken chain.

The family's private company, Ting Hsin, sold its 37.17% stake in Taipei 101, Taiwan's tallest building, to Itochu for $665 million in July 2018.
