Mr. Ducis one of the earliest Vietnamese players (still playing) to venture into business. In 2008, the striker born in 1985 opened a sports equipment store, initially just importing and selling goods. After that, he boldly invested in a shoe and clothing factory. Up to now, this striker has built a business called Anh Duc Sport LLC with many large stores in Binh Duong, distributing products nationwide.

Not stopping there, Anh Duc also expanded his business to the fields of restaurants, hotels, agricultural products, and opened a community football center. The former Binh Duong striker is considered the richest Vietnamese player today with an estimated fortune of hundreds of billions of VND. Although he is 35 years old and financially well-off, Anh Duc continues to play professionally when he joins Long An, playing in the 2021 National First Division.
