Biography

Overview

Robert Ng Chee Siong, born in 1952, is a Singaporean billionaire businessman and the chairman of Hong Kong property development conglomerate Sino Group.
He is the eldest son of Ng Teng Fong, a Singaporean real estate billionaire, and has been listed among the world's richest people alongside his brother Philip Ng.
Ng experienced a significant financial setback during the October 1987 global stock market crash, resulting in losses of US$250 million from various investment holdings.
In June 1995, Ng assumed the chairmanship of Yeo Hiap Seng (YHS), a Singapore-listed food and beverages company, marking a pivotal moment in his battle for control over the company's assets.
Under Ng's leadership, Sino Group diversified its interests, spinning off its hotel division into Sino Hotels and expanding into various acquisitions, including the local branch of the Conrad Hotel.
Ng holds various directorial positions in subsidiaries and associated companies of Sino Group, including Tsim Sha Tsui Properties Limited and Sino Hotels (Holdings) Limited.

Due to his business positions, Ng wields significant power under Hong Kong's functional constituency system, controlling a notable portion of votes in real estate and tourism constituencies.
He has voiced support for certain government policies, such as the 'Application List' system for land sale, and remains optimistic about the Hong Kong property market.
Ng's voting influence has drawn criticism, with concerns raised about the disproportionate power he holds in the electoral process.

Robert Ng is very wealthy, but what's stopping you from reaching that same level of success? As summarized in our five fundamental rules to wealth building, becoming wealthy in a modern capitalist economy is not complicated. There's actually only three variables:

  1. Your starting capital
  2. Your earnings after expenses
  3. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of your savings

Most people start with zero or very little, so if you weren't born into wealth, don't fret! The majority of the fortunate folks listed in our Grizzly Bulls’ Billionaires Index came from middle class or lower backgrounds. The most distinguishing characteristic of the group is their ability to consistently earn a high CAGR on their savings.

Every billionaire has a unique strategy to achieve high CAGR. For Robert Ng, Real Estate is the primary source. Whether you choose to invest your savings in your own businesses or the businesses of others is not as important. The salient piece of the puzzle is ensuring that your hard-earned savings are generating sufficient CAGR to reach your long term goals.

Most people simply invest their money in index funds and call it a day. There's nothing wrong with this approach, but it guarantees relative mediocrity. To achieve greatness, you need to invest your money to earn higher than average returns. In the long run, better investors will always finish ahead of better earners.
