Kwong Siu-hing has an estimated net worth of $16.5 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Kwong Siu-hing profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $15.1 billion in 2019.
Kwong Siu-hing is known for her central role in the Kwok family and for being the biggest shareholder in Sun Hung Kai Properties. She is the widow of cofounder Kwok Tak-seng, who started the company in 1958 with Fung King-hey and Lee Shau Kee. The business went public in 1972 and grew into one of Hong Kong’s largest developers. Her wealth is tied to that real estate company and her large stake in it.
She took a more public role at Sun Hung Kai Properties in 2008, when she became chairman after her eldest son Walter left the post. Kwong served as chairman from 2008 to 2011. She remained important to the company after stepping down because she continued as its biggest shareholder. Forbes tracked her fortune through the value of that real estate holding, and its latest estimate put her net worth at $16.5 billion on October 20, 2026.
How Kwong Siu-hing built her wealth
Kwong Siu-hing’s fortune comes from real estate through Sun Hung Kai Properties. Her late husband, Kwok Tak-seng, helped launch the company in 1958 with Fung King-hey and Lee Shau Kee. After its 1972 public listing, the developer expanded into one of Hong Kong’s largest property groups. Kwong remained at the center of that business as the family matriarch, and Forbes places her in the Real Estate industry.
Her money is closely tied to ownership rather than a separate operating career. Forbes says she remains the biggest shareholder in Sun Hung Kai. Wikipedia background notes that, as of 2008, she effectively controlled about 41.53% of the company’s shares through a family trust. That large stake helps explain why her wealth moves with the company’s value. She also briefly led the company as chairman from 2008 until 2011.
How Forbes' estimate changed
Forbes’ annual estimates for Kwong Siu-hing moved up and down over time. It put her at $15.1 billion in 2019, then $11.9 billion in 2020. The estimate rose to $14.7 billion in 2021, dipped to $12.6 billion in 2022, climbed to $14.1 billion in 2023, and slipped to $12 billion in 2024. In 2025, Forbes valued her fortune at $12.6 billion on its World’s Billionaires list.
The next year brought a sharp jump in Forbes’ published estimates. Its 2026 World’s Billionaires list placed her at $20.7 billion, while the real-time tracker later showed $16.5 billion in October 2026. Since Forbes ties her wealth to real estate and she remains Sun Hung Kai’s biggest shareholder, those changes point to shifting market value around her stake in the developer rather than a new line of business.
