A separate Forbes profile put Lucio Co’s individual real-time net worth at $1.6 billion as of September 10, 2026. These are estimates with different scopes and dates—not audited figures for the couple’s combined personal balance sheet.
What is Lucio and Susan Co’s net worth?
The clearest dated estimate for the couple together is Forbes’ August 2026 Philippines rich-list estimate of $3.3 billion. Forbes ranked them fourth on its country list.
That shared estimate should not be confused with Forbes’ Lucio Co profile, which showed $1.6 billion for Lucio alone as of September 10, 2026. The two amounts are not directly interchangeable: one is described as the couple’s shared fortune in a dated list, and the other is a real-time individual profile estimate.
Why do published estimates differ?
Net-worth estimates can vary with the date, the person or people being counted, and the publisher’s valuation approach. Forbes’ 2025 list, as reported by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, listed Lucio at $1.4 billion and Susan at $1.3 billion separately. Those prior-year individual figures should not be added to or averaged with Forbes’ later $3.3 billion shared estimate.

Celebrity Net Worth gives an undated $2 billion estimate and says its amounts are based on public sources. Because it does not provide a comparable date in the cited material, it is less useful for answering what the couple’s fortune was estimated to be in 2026.
What businesses are behind the Co family’s wealth?
Forbes identifies Lucio and Susan Co as cofounders of Puregold Price Club, a Philippine hypermarket and supermarket chain established in 1998. It also associates their wealth with Cosco Capital and interests spanning liquor distribution, real estate, gaming, hotels, finance, and energy. These business connections help explain the sources of wealth estimates, but corporate assets and revenues are not the couple’s personal net worth.
Puregold ownership is not the same as personal net worth
Puregold Price Club’s 2026 Definitive Information Statement reports direct holdings as of March 31, 2026: Susan P. Co held 6.19% and Lucio L. Co held 7.33% of the company’s outstanding voting shares. Cosco Capital held 48.58%. These are ownership percentages in a public company, not dollar values for personal wealth. The corporate stake should not be mechanically added to the couple’s direct holdings to produce a net-worth total.
Company results are not personal income
Forbes reported that Puregold earned 3.3 billion Philippine pesos ($54 million) in first-quarter 2026 net profit on revenue of 59 billion pesos, with profit up 24% year over year. Those are company operating results for that quarter, not Lucio and Susan Co’s personal income or wealth.
How to read the available figures
- For the couple together: use Forbes’ $3.3 billion shared estimate from August 5, 2026.
- For Lucio individually: Forbes’ profile showed $1.6 billion as of September 10, 2026.
- For earlier context: the Inquirer’s coverage of Forbes’ 2025 list reported separate estimates of $1.4 billion for Lucio and $1.3 billion for Susan.
Each is a publisher’s estimate, not a public accounting of all assets and liabilities. The cited sources do not establish an audited combined personal balance sheet for the couple.
Quick Recap
Best Value
- From the acclaimed, award-winning author of Alexander Hamilton: here is the essential, endlessly engrossing biography of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.—the Jekyll-and-Hyde of American capitalism.
- In the course of his nearly 98 years, Rockefeller was known as both a rapacious robber baron, whose Standard Oil Company rode roughshod over an industry, and a philanthropist who donated money lavishly to universities and medical centers.
- He was the terror of his competitors, the bogeyman of reformers, the delight of caricaturists—and an utter enigma.
