AI Server Rails Propel King Slide Chairman to Taiwan’s Richest

King Slide Works has built its business around precision rails used in servers and data-center racks. The components are critical for supporting, accessing and maintaining increasingly heavy AI systems. Its manufacturing expertise, patent portfolio and position in Nvidia’s AI server supply chain have turned a low-profile hardware specialist into a major beneficiary of global spending on generative-AI infrastructure.

As of Aug. 11, 2026, the fortune of 85-year-old Chairman Lin Tsung-chi was valued at NT$538.7 billion, placing him ahead of Hon Hai Precision Industry founder Terry Gou as Taiwan’s richest person in the Forbes ranking. Surging demand for AI servers has boosted King Slide’s revenue and earnings, while its strategic supply-chain role and intellectual-property moat have helped drive a sharp rise in the company’s shares and Lin’s net worth.
