Robert Ng is a Singapore businessman best known for leading major property companies tied to his family. He has been chairman of Sino Group since 1991. His family also controls Far East Organization, which he shares with his brother Philip. Far East Organization is Singapore’s largest private landlord and property developer. Their father, Ng Teng Fong, built the family’s real estate base after moving from China to Singapore in 1934 and entering property in 1960.
His wealth comes from long-running real estate holdings and development projects in Singapore, Hong Kong, and beyond. Robert Ng also took on other business roles over the years, including chairing Yeo Hiap Seng in 1995 and leading Sino Hotels from its start. In 2022, Singapore-listed Far East Orchard put a London redevelopment on sale after turning the former Westminster Fire Station into a luxury project with 17 apartments. Forbes put his net worth at $6.9 billion in October 2026.
