About T. Kwok


T homas Kwok is a Hong Kong real estate tycoon and a member of the powerful Kwok family, which controls Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), one of the city's largest and most prominent property developers. He is the second of three sons of the company's late co-founder, Kwok Tak-seng. After their father's death in 1990, Thomas, along with his brothers Walter and Raymond, took over the joint chairmanship of the company, which is known for building many of Hong Kong's most iconic skyscrapers.

His career has been marked by both immense success and significant controversy. In 2014, in a landmark corruption trial that shook Hong Kong's business elite, Thomas Kwok was convicted of bribing a senior government official and was sentenced to five years in prison. He served his sentence and was released in 2019. Despite the scandal, his family's vast wealth, which is derived from their massive stake in SHKP, remains intact. He has since focused on his church and family activities and is no longer involved in the company's management.
