Pre-coup beginnings The business interests of Aung Pyae Sone closely tracked the military career trajectory of Min Aung Hlaing, his father. Aung Pyae Sone owns Authentic Group of Companies, which has supplied raw materials to ordnance factories operated by the military's Directorate of Defence Industries since his father's promotion to commander-in-chief in 2011, and to businesses operated by military-owned
Myanmar Economic Corporation. Min Naing established the partnership between the Quartermaster-General's Office and Aung Pyae Sone, which led to the creation of Aung Myint Moh Min Insurance. Aung Pyae Sone also runs A&M Mahar, which offers
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals and customs clearance services for drugs and medical devices. Aung Pyae Sone was awarded an artificially low land lease from Yangon Region's government and serves alcohol in breach of a
Yangon City Development Committee prohibition. He also owns the
Kan Tharyar Hospital and Azura Beach Resort, which promotes itself as the largest resort in
Chaungtha. In 2019,
United Nations fact-finding missions called for action against companies owned by Aung Pyae Sone. Aung Pyae Sone partially owns Golden Future Linkage, a
solar power company. In January 2023, the military junta awarded the company a contract to build a 40-megawatt solar power plant in
Mandalay Region’s
Thazi Township. The September 2022 raid found assets of Aung Pyae Sone's property title to a four-bedroom luxury condo worth nearly US$1 million in Bangkok's Belle Rama 9 complex, and his sister's bank records. In 2023, Aung Pyae Sone acquired a stake in an island known as
Little Inya, which is adjacent to Yangon University’s Hline campus. He is the biggest shareholder in a luxury condominium,
Inno City. In 2025, Myanmar experienced a
major earthquake on 28 March. Aung Pyae Sone's construction firm, Naypyitaw Mark II, was tapped to help rebuild the capital of
Naypyidaw. == Personal life ==
