Jonathan Kwok is a director at Empire Group Holdings, where he oversees the company’s real estate investments, project developments and asset management operations. He joined the company in 2018, and runs it alongside his older brother, Geoffrey. Before joining the family company, Jonathan worked at listed property investor CSI Properties, and as a trading desk analyst at CMB International Securities.


Empire Group was founded by their father, Walter Kwok, in 2008 after he was ousted as chairman of Hong Kong’s largest developer, Sun Hung Kai Properties, following a public falling out with several other members of his family. Walter retained his ownership in Sun Hung Kai after his departure from the company, and Jonathan remains a major shareholder—one of the key reasons why, in recent years, he has been among the youngest people to feature on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires List.
