Lim Kok Thay

About Me

Lim Kok Thay is the executive chairman of Genting, a casino and resorts conglomerate with a global footprint. In February 2025, he stepped down as CEO, a role he had held for almost two decades. In 2022, Lim's troubled cruise operator Genting Hong Kong, which was hit hard by the pandemic, filed a winding up petition. Lim stepped down as chairman. Lim's assets include Empire Resorts, the parent company of loss-making Resorts World Catskills. A long-drawn family feud over the empire's wealth and businesses, which include a palm-oil unit, was finally resolved in 2020. As part of an ongoing S$6.8 billion ($5 billion) expansion, Genting Singapore is revamping its Resorts World Sentosa, which will include two new hotels, a four-storey retail and dining podium, and a waterfront promenade.
