9 Billion Dollars! The Mysterious Family Behind Tetra Pak And Landa Has Quietly Invested in Hundreds Of Top Companies

According to Bloomberg's in-depth analysis of the latest regulatory documents, the Lausin family has now established a shocking publicly traded stock investment portfolio with a total value of approximately $9 billion. This vast investment empire spans across Europe and the United States, with its shareholding list covering over 100 well-known companies. Specifically, through its multiple entities in Liechtenstein, Singapore and Switzerland, the investment giant of the Raussing family holds up to US $2.4 billion of shares in Linde, an industrial gas giant, Chiwharton, the world's largest food essence manufacturer, with a share value of US $2.2 billion, and the aforementioned international essence flavor company with a share value of US $1.9 billion.
In addition, their investment portfolio also includes small stakes in globally renowned companies such as Apple Inc. and Wells Fargo, although these so-called "small stakes" are astronomical numbers for any ordinary investor. These previously unreported huge investment scales, as well as the complex entity structures behind them used to hold these investments, clearly highlight the increasingly sophisticated financial management practices of today's wealthiest families worldwide.
The Hidden Wealth Manager: The Complex Investment Network of the Lawson Family
Regarding Bloomberg's request for comment, the core enterprise of the Lausin family, Tetra Pak, and representatives of various entities related to its investments, either declined to comment or did not respond. This high level of confidentiality is a consistent style of the Lausin family, however, even in this situation, the tip of the iceberg revealed by regulatory documents is enough to be astonishing.
According to analysis, the vast majority of funds in the $9 billion stock investment portfolio of the Lausin family are highly concentrated in five core stocks. The five companies are: International essence and Fragrance Company, Linde, an industrial gas giant, Chihuadun, a food essence manufacturer, Senxin Technology Co., Ltd., which produces special ingredients, and Kangmeibao Group, a leading global consumer packaging solution provider. These five companies are undoubtedly outstanding in their respective industries, with strong market positions and stable profitability in their respective fields. This clearly reflects the robust strategy of the Lao Xin family in choosing investment targets, which tends to hold for the long term and deeply bind with industry leaders.
Behind these core investments is a complex network carefully designed to protect and inherit wealth. Most of its core holdings are held by companies established by the Lausing family in Singapore, which are ultimately controlled by an entity called the Halldo Foundation located in Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein, as a globally renowned private wealth management center, has strict confidentiality regulations and a mature financial services system, providing an ideal breeding ground for asset management of such ultra-high net worth families. The establishment of the Haldor Foundation is a typical example of the Lausin family using the international financial architecture for asset protection and intergenerational inheritance. This multi-level offshore structure not only helps optimize tax planning, but also effectively achieves risk isolation and long-term appreciation of family wealth.

In addition to these core heavy holdings, the Lausin family is also expanding its securities portfolio through other investment entities. For example, a Swiss investment company called Longbow Financial has been providing professional investment management services for the wealth of the Lausin family for decades. As of March 31 this year, the company holds approximately 80 securities traded in the United States, with a total value of $835 million. Its long-term stable operation also confirms the cautious and long-term vision of the Lausin family when choosing partners.
Another Swiss investment company called Fremont Management also holds a wide portfolio of securities investments, with a value of $304 million as of the end of March. According to the company's data database Orbis, Fremont Management was founded in 1994 and has been recorded as a subsidiary of Tetra Pak until May 2025. This means that Fremont Management Company has closer business ties with the Lausing family, and may undertake more specific investment management responsibilities or be responsible for handling certain asset allocations within the family business.
Limitations of Regulatory Disclosure and the Complex Landscape of Wealth Management
However, it should be emphasized that the regulatory disclosure information on which Bloomberg's analysis is based has limitations in its perspective. This information only includes holdings of publicly traded securities that meet certain size or complexity thresholds. This means that the Lausin family, through its entities established around the world, is likely to hold other types of asset investments, such as large-scale private equity, real estate, hedge funds, commodities, and even alternative investments such as art and antiques. This also means that the actual wealth scale and investment scope of the Lausin family may far exceed the currently disclosed $9 billion.

In addition, although regulatory documents can reveal the present value of these stock investments, they usually do not display their specific purchase prices, which poses great difficulties for the outside world to evaluate the final investment return rate of these bets. For example, since the family first publicly disclosed its holding of shares in International essence and Fragrance Company, the return on the share price of this New York company was -29%. This is in stark contrast to the astonishing 242% return rate of the S&P 500 index during the same period, indicating that it may face challenges in certain investment choices.
However, not all investments are so sluggish. In contrast, since the shares of the Raussing family appeared in the annual report of the fiscal year 2022 of Chihuaton, the return rate of the edible essence manufacturer has reached 41%, almost twice the performance index of the Swiss Stock Exchange, which shows its precise investment vision in some fields.
Regardless of the specific stock price performance, the entire investment portfolio of the Lausin family seems to have been steadily growing. The regulatory documents in Singapore reveal a striking phenomenon: two subsidiaries of the Lao Xin family investment entity, Winde Investment Private Limited and Winde Private Limited, regularly receive huge capital injections of tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
The source of these funds is currently unclear, which, like other financial situations of the Lausin family and its core enterprise, Tetra Pak, is shrouded in mystery. As a privately-owned company with a minority stake, Tetra Pak has not disclosed its complete financial performance to the public, which makes it difficult for the outside world to accurately determine how much of its potential profits have been distributed to actual owners, further increasing the secrecy of the Lausin family's wealth operations.
At present, it is not clear to the outside world which family members are the ultimate beneficiaries of these three main investment entities. Although previous news reports have pointed out that Finn, Jon, and Kirsten Lausin, the grandchildren of Leland Laval founder Ruben Lausin, are beneficiaries of the Haldor Foundation, their shares in specific investment companies are still unclear. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, these three siblings each own one-third of the shares in Tetra Pak, bringing their total net worth to approximately $5.9 billion. However, the index did not provide detailed information on their specific shareholding ratios and equity distributions in the three investment entities mentioned above.

These three siblings are currently in their sixties or seventies. They officially took over the family business in 1995, after their father Gad Lausin acquired his uncle's shares. This intergenerational inheritance method allows family wealth to continue in the hands of core members. However, the details surrounding how they allocate and manage their massive investment portfolio remain an unsolved mystery, further highlighting the high level of secrecy in wealth management of the Lausin family.
The case of the Lao Xin family is undoubtedly a microcosm of the wealth management model of global super rich families. They are no longer satisfied with traditional bank wealth management or simply depositing funds in financial institutions, but actively participate in the deep operation of the global capital market by establishing a highly specialized and globalized family office system. These family offices are not only responsible for investment management, but may also cover a range of complex services such as tax planning, estate planning, philanthropy, and family governance, aimed at ensuring the intergenerational inheritance and continuous appreciation of family wealth.
The Lao Xin family established entities in multiple jurisdictions and held multi-level equity holdings in order to achieve optimized wealth management and risk diversification while complying with local regulations. This strategy enables their investment activities to enjoy financial advantages from different regions while effectively avoiding policy risks from a single jurisdiction.
In summary, the enormous wealth accumulated by the Lausin family through Tetra Pak did not remain in their bank accounts, but was cleverly transformed into a large and diversified global stock investment portfolio. This secretive and powerful investment empire, supported by a series of complex entities and professional wealth management institutions, not only showcases the outstanding business wisdom and long-term strategic vision of the Lausin family, but also reveals the increasing trend of refinement, specialization, and globalization in wealth management and inheritance among the world's top billionaires today. With the continuous evolution of the global economic landscape, these low-key yet powerful families are playing an increasingly important role on the world economic stage with their unique investment strategies.
