Koo Family Anchors USD1.5bn AI Infrastructure Fundraise

AI infrastructure fundraise Koo family backing is accelerating global ultra-rich investment into backbone AI assets.

Taiwan billionaire Andre Koo Sr is anchoring two newly launched AI infrastructure funds with at least USD100m as Chailease Holding partners with US investor Jasper Lau’s Era to raise USD1.5bn from wealthy individuals and institutions.

The funds will target data centres, power capacity and GPU-driven infrastructure, including firms aligned with Nvidia.

Koo controls a stake worth more than USD400m in Chailease and oversees a family fortune estimated at USD7bn.

The Chailease fund will deploy private credit into AI infrastructure companies, while Era will seek equity positions, reflecting persistent ultra-rich appetite for AI despite concerns over soaring chip-related valuations.
