C hang Kuo-Cheng is a Taiwanese heir to the Evergreen Group fortune, one of Asia's largest transportation and logistics conglomerates. He is one of three sons of the late billionaire founder, Chang Yung-fa, from his first marriage. The Evergreen Group is a massive enterprise with its core in Evergreen Marine, one of the world's largest container shipping lines, and also includes interests in aviation, hotels, and heavy industry.

Following the death of the group's founder in 2016, a highly public succession battle erupted among his heirs. Chang Kuo-Cheng and his two full brothers, who held key positions within the group, ultimately consolidated control, ousting their younger half-brother, Chang Kuo-wei. Chang Kuo-Cheng now plays a key leadership role within the family's vast business empire, and his wealth is derived from his significant inherited stake in the various arms of the Evergreen Group.
