Kishin RK , 42-year-old CEO of RB Capital Group , has emerged as Singapore’s youngest billionaire in 2025 with an estimated net worth of US $1.6 billion. While he is the sole heir to Indian-origin real estate magnate Raj Kumar Hiranandani, Kishin’s wealth reflects more than inheritance; it is the result of his bold entrepreneurial spirit and independent vision. Recognised as one of only six Singaporeans under 50 on Forbes’ 2025 billionaire list, Kishin exemplifies a powerful blend of legacy and self-driven success in the competitive world of real estate development.
Singapore’s youngest billionaire Kishin RK began his real estate journey at 12
Kishin's foray into real estate was simply exceptional. At the age of 12, with the guidance of his father, he bought his first property. That initial exposure instilled a profound interest in the property market that redirected his career course. By the age of 18, Kishin sold a flat presented to him by his parents and invested the capital to form RB Capital in 2006 a move that signified the start of his independent business legacy.
While he did have fleeting thoughts about other professions, such as finance and restaurants, real estate was always his center of attraction. In an interview with Tatler Asia, he described that while there were earlier dreams, the fascination of creating something permanent in the property sector was always greater.
Kishin RK’s rise to real estate from family roots to independent success
Although Kishin comes from a family with strong roots in real estate, his father's Royal Holdings is a well-known name in Singaporean property, but he wanted to make his own mark. RB Capital was formed with an emphasis on creating real estate projects as opposed to just buying them. That difference in strategy helped Kishin forge a distinct identity in the business.
Under his guidance, RB Capital has built a portfolio of commercial and hospitality assets, including top landmarks such as InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay and Holiday Inn Singapore Little India. These developments are testaments to his passion for city rejuvenation and sustainable design, distinguishing him in a crowded industry. Kishin officially became part of the family business in 2003. But the game-changer was in 2011 when his uncle and father split their real estate assets. After the division, Kishin and his father formed an unstoppable duo, managing a portfolio together worth almost US$10 billion. Their combined experience and savvy investments have since made them one of Singapore's most powerful property duos.
Later in 2024, they went global with their dreams by setting up a family office in Abu Dhabi. The RB Family Office, which is founded in the Abu Dhabi Global Market, seeks to manage and grow their investments in the Middle East. The move aligns with the UAE's business-friendly culture and places the family on the path to expansion in the region.
