Park Hyun Joo Net Worth: Park Hyun-joo is a South Korean businessman with a net worth of $1 billion. Park Hyeon-Joo founded Mirae Asset in 1997 and introduced mutual funds to Korea.

Mirae has developed particularly popular exchange-traded funds. Mirae Asset, the largest asset manager in China today, was forced to close its first overseas branch (Hong Kong) in 2013. The downward trend continued, and in November 2013, Koo Jae-Sang resigned as CEO of Mirae Global Investments. Park Hyeon-Joo received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Korea University in 2002 and attended Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program in 2002. In 2014, Mirae Asset launched the Horizons Korea KOSPI 200 ETF, the lowest-cost Korea ETF in the U.S. market, featuring the broadest exposure to Korea indices. That same year, Park Hyun-joo rang the opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange.
