Joe Shoong (30 August 1879 – 13 April 1961) was a Chinese American businessman and philanthropist who founded the National Dollar Stores and supported many Chinese organizations. He was one of the first Chinese American millionaires[1] and at one time, according to Time Magazine, was the "richest, best-known Chinese business man in the U.S."[2] Though the National Dollar Stores are now closed, Shoong's legacy endures through the organizations, including cultural centers, schools and universities, which he and the Shoong Foundation supported.
