According to a report in the South China Morning Post (SCMP), Kishin sold an apartment given to him by his parents when he was 18. He then used the funds from this sale to start RB Capital Group. This early entrepreneurial move set the stage for his future success in the real estate industry.
Kishin is one of just six Singaporeans on Forbes’ 2025 billionaire list who are under the age of 50. He is the only one to have inherited his wealth, according to a VN Express report. Kishin is the son of Raj Kumar Hiranandani, a prominent real estate mogul and co-founder of Royal Holdings. Together, they are among Singapore's leading landlords, managing a property empire worth billions.
A powerful father-and-son team in Singapore’s real estate scene, Raj runs Royal Holdings, while Kishin started his own company, RB Capital, in 2006. In 2011, Raj and his brother Asok split their property business, and since then, Raj has been focused on building his own empire, reported Forbes.
Kishin RK was introduced to the world of real estate early on. Born in 1983, he bought his first apartment when he was just 12 years old. This early experience, guided by his father, gave Kishin valuable insights into the real estate market. Around the same time, he began accompanying his father to important business meetings.
In a 2021 interview with Tatler, Kishin revealed that he realized his interest was in real estate. “I was really getting to understand the ins and outs of not just the family business, but the larger landscape of real estate and how it worked as an industry. And I wanted to go deeper,” he told Tatler Asia. Unlike his family business of acquiring properties, RB Capital also focuses on real estate development.
Kishin's success is a testament to his early exposure and his ability to build on his family’s legacy while forging his own path. His journey from a child real estate prodigy to Singapore's youngest billionaire is an inspiring story of determination and strategic vision.
