Min-Liang Tan or Tan Min Liang (born 5 November 1977)[a] is a Singaporean businessman, internet entrepreneur and former lawyer. He is the co-founder, chairman, chief executive officer (CEO) and creative director of the gaming hardware company Razer Inc., as well as being the chairman and CEO of THX. He oversees the design and development of all Razer products.[1] Tan was a lawyer before he co-founded Razer with Robert Krakoff.[2]

Apart from Razer, Tan is a founding member of the Open Source Virtual Reality platform, which aims to create a common standard for VR program design. The next frontier for Razer has been said to lie in the realm of virtual reality, and Tan hopes to create an entire virtual reality industry, citing that the prospects are “phenomenal” in entertainment, health care and military applications.[3] Tan is also a board member of the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS).[4]

Tan debuted in 2016 on the Forbes Singapore Rich List with a net worth of US$600 million[5] and became the youngest self-made Singaporean billionaire at the age of 40 with a net worth of US$1.6 billion when Razer went public in 2017.[6]
