Here are the 10 richest real estate tycoons in Singapore

Guess who's worth a whopping US5.2b?

Members of the Kwee and Hiranandani families took six of the ten spots on a Wealth-X ranking of Singapore’s wealthiest real estate tycoons. Collectively, the six brothers from these two families hold US$7.2 billion in assets – nearly half of the US$15.57 billion combined net worth of their peers on the list.

The four Kwee brothers of the Pontiac Land Group – a luxury property development company specialising in commercial, residential, hospitality, and retail properties – collectively have a net worth of US$4.6 billion. 

Kwee Liong Teck, with a personal fortune of US$1.3 billion, serves as chairman of the company his father founded in 1959. His three brothers, who also appear on the Wealth-X list, are board members as well.

The Hiranandani brothers collectively have a net worth of US$2.6 billion. Raj Kumar, owner of the Royal Holdings Organisation, and Asok Kumar, chairman of the Royal Group, inherited their father’s business and have turned it into one of the leading property players in the Asia-Pacific region.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
