Raymond Kwok runs his family’s Sun Hung Kai Properties empire. The chairman, managing director and executive director of the company, he took on the top job in 2011, having previously served as its vice-chairman for 21 years. He first joined the company back in 1978. Sun Hung Kai is Hong Kong’s largest property developer, and also has interests in areas including telecoms, hotels and infrastructure.

Raymond is the youngest son of Kwok Tak-seng, who established the company in the 1960s and built it into one of the powerhouses of Hong Kong’s lucrative property sector, and the brother of Thomas and the late Walter. The three brothers inherited the company after their father’s death in 1990, and there were various protracted internal power struggles afterwards, resulting in Walter leaving the company to establish Empire Group in 2010. The Kwok family are regularly assessed to be one of the richest in Asia.

He is also the chairman and a non-executive director of telecoms company SmarTone Telecommunications, and the chairman and an executive director of data centre operator Sunevision Holdings, both Sun Hung Kai subsidiaries. Additionally, he is a non-executive director of Transport International Holdings, formerly Kowloon Motor Bus, and of Wing Tai Properties; a director of the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong; and a member of the council of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

He has two sons, Edward and Christopher, the former an alternate director of Sun Hung Kai and the latter an executive director of the company.
