Henrietta Goh Hui Ru is a Singaporean billionaire and a member of the elite Goh family. She is the daughter of Goh Hup Jin, chairman of Nippon Paint South-east Asia, and the granddaughter of the late paints tycoon Goh Cheng Liang.

She entered the global rich list in late 2024 after her grandfather completed a unique succession maneuver, transferring a 55% controlling stake in Tokyo-listed Nippon Paint Holdings directly to his six grandchildren. Each grandchild, including Henrietta and her sister Charlotte, received a share worth approximately US$1.1 billion.

• Core Asset: Nipsea International (Nippon Paint's core Asia holding).
• Inheritance: Direct generational wealth transfer totaling US$1.1 billion.
• Family Legacy: Part of the family that has consistently ranked as the richest in Singapore.

Henrietta Goh’s professional role is defined by the governance of the family’s massive paint and coatings empire. Her grandfather built Wuthelam Holdings into a global conglomerate that currently owns nearly 60% of the Tokyo-listed Nippon Paint.

While her father, Hup Jin, manages the executive strategy—including the massive $12 billion deal in 2021 to consolidate control of Nippon Paint—Henrietta and her siblings are part of the long-term stewardship structure of Nipsea. The group expanded significantly in 2024 with the $2.3 billion acquisition of U.S. chemical producer AOC.

• Company Value: The family’s stake in Nippon Paint is valued at over $13 billion.
• Governance: Major individual stakeholder in the family-owned investment vehicles.
