Sun Hung Kai Properties Co-Chairmen

Hong Kong, China

The sons of Sun Hung Kai Properties founder Kwok Tek-Seng, these brothers helmed the firm as it evolved to become the largest developer in Hong Kong. The firm developed the city’s two tallest towers, the International Finance Centre and the International Commerce Centre, which sit on opposite sides of Victoria Harbor.

In late 2014, Thomas was convicted of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office for paying a municipal employee $1.1M in bribes and asking him to be Sun Hung Kai’s “eyes and ears” inside the local government. — Scott Klocksin
