Check this out: Thousands of Valencia football club fans chanted Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim's name.

Lim, 60, is a former remisier who made his fortune in the stock market. His net worth is US$2.05 billion, according to Forbes.

He is currently viewed as the saviour of Valencia.

He reportedly sunk some $306 million euros (S$530 million) to wipe out Valencia Football Club's debt and promised another 40 million euros (S$70 million) to buy new players in the upcoming January transfer window.

Lim had previously attempted to buy England’s Liverpool Football Club for £320 million in late-2010 but lost out to the owners of the Boston Red Sox, New England Sports Ventures.

His investments in various sectors include the agribusiness, education, fashion, logistics, and food and beverage

Publicly known holdings in his portfolio include Wilmar International, Global Logistic Properties, FJ Benjamin Holdings and Informatics Education.

Lim also has two major projects in the southern Malaysian state. A medical hub project at Vantage Bay near Danga Bay and Motorsports City race track.

Thank goodness he isn't called "Ng Eng Hen" or something. That would be hard for the Spanish to pronounce, what with all the nasal sounds.
