P eter Lim is a prominent Singaporean billionaire investor known for his shrewd stock market bets and his ownership of the Spanish football club Valencia CF. The son of a fishmonger, Lim grew up in a modest government flat. He worked his way through the University of Western Australia, financing his education by taking on part-time jobs as a taxi driver, cook, and waiter. After graduating with a degree in accounting and finance, he started his career as a stockbroker.

He gained the nickname 'the Remisier King' in the 1980s for his ability to successfully invest for his clients and himself. His most famous and lucrative investment was an early stake in the palm oil company Wilmar International, which turned his initial $10 million investment into hundreds of millions of dollars. He has since diversified his investments into real estate, healthcare, and sports. In 2014, he fulfilled a long-held passion by purchasing the Spanish La Liga football club Valencia. He is also a partner in a real estate development in Malaysia and has invested in various technology ventures.
