Fung remains the go-to source of information for Vancouver’s Chinese community, with his Fairchild Chinese-language TV network and radio stations ranking among the largest Asian media enterprises in North America.
After building his fortune as a resource-industry investor, Giustra turned his attention to helping to grow the city’s film scene; today, he continues his entrepreneurial streak with his Fiore Group venture capital firm and extensive charitable work.
