At just 42 years old, Kishin RK has become Singapore’s youngest billionaire in 2025. He is the CEO of RB Capital Group, a major real estate company. Though he is the only son of well-known Indian-origin property tycoon Raj Kumar Hiranandani, Kishin’s success is not just about family wealth. His story is about taking bold steps and building his own path in the real estate world.

A very early start in real estate

Kishin’s journey in property began when he was just 12 years old. With his father’s help, he bought his first property. By the time he turned 18, he sold an apartment his parents had gifted him and used the money to start RB Capital in 2006. That was the moment he began his own business journey.

Today, RB Capital owns some of the most valuable hotels, offices, and shopping centres in top Asian cities.

Real estate was always his true passion

Kishin once thought about working in finance or the food business, but real estate always drew him back. In an interview with Tatler Asia, he said that while other jobs sounded interesting, the idea of building something long-lasting in real estate was far more exciting.

Family legacy to building his own real estate empire

Though Kishin RK was born into a successful real estate family, he always aimed to build his own identity in the industry. His father’s company Royal Holdings being a well-known name in Singapore and instead of simply continuing what his family had already done, Kishin wanted to do something different.

When he founded RB Capital, his focus was not just on buying properties but it was about creating new. This fresh approach helped him stand out and gave RB Capital a unique place in the real estate world.

Under Kishin’s guidance, RB Capital has developed several impressive commercial and hotel properties, including popular places like the InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay and Holiday Inn Singapore Little India.

Key turning point

Kishin officially joined the family business in 2003, but a major shift happened in 2011, when his father and uncle split their real estate assets. After that, Kishin and his father teamed up and built a powerful partnership. Together, they now manage a portfolio worth nearly USD 10 billion, making them one of the strongest real estate duos in Singapore.

In 2024, they took their ambitions beyond Singapore by launching a family office in Abu Dhabi, called the RB Family Office. This new base helped them grow their investments across the Middle East.

Kishin RK’s net worth

According to Forbes 2025, Kishin RK has become Singapore’s youngest billionaire, with an estimated individual net worth of USD 1.6 billion. He is the only son and heir of Raj Kumar Hiranandani, a respected Indian-origin real estate tycoon.

Forbes also reports that together, Kishin and his father Raj Kumar now hold a combined net worth of around USD 3.15 billion, making them one of the most influential real estate families in the region.
