Evan Kwee

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Evan Kwee is worth US$5 billion. After all, he is the son of Indonesian textile and real estate tycoon Henry Kwee.

The Babson College graduate is currently the vice-chairman of the Capella Hotel Group as well as the head of design and hospitality at Pontiac Land Group. His personal life is as high profile as his career trajectory, as proven by his marriage to Claudia Sondakh, who comes from one of Indonesia’s wealthiest families.

But Kwee is not as intimidating as he would appear. The cycling enthusiast reportedly prefers paddling to work in favour of commuting in a limousine.

4 Indonesian influencers who talk openly about culturally sensitive issues

Kim Lim

Born to Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim and his ex-wife Teo Geok Fong, Kim Lim is as crazy rich as one can be. With opulent surroundings to inform her lifestyle choices since birth, she is, unsurprisingly, a committed lover of fashion. And with actress Cherie Lim for a stepmother (their close relationship reads more like friends than family), it’s no wonder why she’s always on the radar of most fashion-loving Singaporeans.

But Lim is not as extroverted as she may appear on social media. Despite her massive following of 267,000 followers on Instagram, this billionaire heiress prefers to keep a relatively low profile, especially when it comes to her personal life and family.

Kuok Meng Jun

Seeing that Kuok Meng Jun is the grandson of Malaysia’s richest billionaire Robert Kuok, one would expect him to take over the reins of his family’s massive business empire. But having developed a career path in music, this Stanford University graduate is evidently more creative than corporate.

If Kuok seems familiar, it’s because you may have seen his appearance in the third season of Singapore Idol. He made headlines when he decided to forfeit the competition in 2009 due to undisclosed personal reasons.

But the move did not mean the end of his musical pursuits. He has since released his first EDM single Into the Wild and carved his niche as a DJ and producer under the names MXMJ and MJ Kuok.

Arissa Cheo

No one turns heads quite like the glamorous Arissa Cheo. Known for her untameable personal style and unbridled individuality, this heiress belongs to the Cheo family, whose patriarch Cheo Tong Choon runs edible oil refiner Mewah International.

But despite being the right person to fill in her father’s footsteps, Cheo is reportedly not keen to take over her family empire and prefers to step out on her own. In 2008, she co-founded Carte Blanche X, an online retail fashion store carrying her eponymous fashion and cosmetic labels, Arissa X and AXJ Beaute among other third-party brands.

When not busy attending Singapore's star-studded events, Cheo loves spending time at home. She has two children from her previous marriage to Taiwanese-American celebrity Vanness Wu.

Daryl Ng

Another corporate champion to grace our list is the Hong Kong-born, Singapore-based Daryl Ng, who is currently the deputy chairman of his family’s behemoth Sino Group.

With the Ng family’s total net worth of US$9.7 billion, it’s not hard at all to see why this low profile billionaire heir is a highly respected member of Singapore’s upper echelon.
