Walter Kwok Ping-sheung JP (Chinese: 郭炳湘; Cantonese pronunciation: [kʷɔːk̚˧ peŋ˧˥.sœːŋ˥]; 1950 – 20 October 2018) was a Hong Kong real estate developer. He was the eldest son of Kwok Tak-seng, founder of Sun Hung Kai Properties, and his wife Kwong Siu-hing. Following their father's death in 1990, he and his brothers Thomas and Raymond inherited Sun Hung Kai Properties.[1]
Kwok, formerly chairman and CEO of Sun Hung Kai Properties, negotiated his departure from the family firm in 2010. His mother remains the controlling shareholder of the company, whilst his brothers manage the firm. The Kwok family was ranked third in 2017 Asia's Richest Families, with an estimated net worth of US$40.4 billion as of November 2017.[2]
