The vast empire of Malaysia's richest man, Robert Kuok, includes the Shangri-La hospitality chain, overseen by his daughter Kuok Hui Kwong. Kuok became CEO of the hotel group in August 2025. The group reported $2.2 billion in revenue in 2024, a 2% increase thanks to the global travel recovery, yet profits over the same period fell by 12% to hit $161.4 million. She was also previously the CEO of the SCMP Group from 2009 to 2012, which at the time published Hong Kong’s leading English-language newspaper, the South China Morning Post.
