Net Worth of $1.6 Billion: Real estate prodigy Kishin RK builds billion-dollar legacy with RB Capital, combining family roots with self-made success
At just 42, Kishin RK, CEO of RB Capital Group, has become Singapore’s youngest billionaire in 2025 with a net worth of US $1.6 billion, according to Forbes. While he is the only son of Indian-origin real estate mogul Raj Kumar Hiranandani, Kishin’s wealth and rise reflect a unique journey of early ambition, entrepreneurial courage, and a distinct business vision. He is one of only six Singaporeans under the age of 50 featured on Forbes’ 2025 billionaire list, reported timesofindia.indiatimes.com.
From buying his first property at 12 to running a multi-billion dollar firm, Kishin RK’s story is one of vision, legacy, and bold entrepreneurship.
Kishin’s real estate journey started unusually early—at age 12—with guidance from his father. He made his first investment then, and by 18, sold a flat gifted by his parents to found RB Capital in 2006. Though he briefly considered other industries like finance and hospitality, his passion for creating spaces and shaping cities pulled him fully into real estate.

Though Kishin’s father, Raj Kumar, is the force behind Royal Holdings, a major real estate player in Singapore, Kishin charted his own path. RB Capital distinguished itself by developing landmark properties rather than simply acquiring them. The firm’s portfolio includes icons like InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay and Holiday Inn Singapore Little India—projects that showcase Kishin’s focus on urban regeneration and sustainability.
The defining moment in Kishin’s business career came in 2011, when his father and uncle amicably split their property assets. Kishin and Raj Kumar then teamed up, managing a portfolio worth nearly US $10 billion. Together, they became one of Singapore’s most influential property duos.
Their global ambitions took a major leap in 2024 when they launched the RB Family Office in Abu Dhabi Global Market. This strategic expansion into the UAE aims to grow their presence in the Middle East, leveraging Abu Dhabi’s investment-friendly environment and future-forward market.
As per Forbes, the father-son duo jointly holds an estimated net worth of $3.15 billion, with Kishin individually valued at $1.6 billion. His rise, while supported by legacy, is firmly rooted in his own strategic foresight and leadership.
Beyond the boardroom, Kishin is known for his humility and social commitment. Friends and colleagues highlight his respectful demeanor, regardless of rank or role. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he co-founded Tiffin Labs, a cloud kitchen startup, and launched the “Food is Love” initiative to serve meals to those in need in Singapore.
