HONG KONG (March 21): What's the first thing a Hong Kong billionaire does when he gets out of jail? Dim sum order, of course.
"The thing I want to do the most? Go home, "said Thomas Kwok, 67, in front of Stanley Prison, after serving just over three years of his five-year sentence. He got early release for good behavior. "I already ordered dim sum."
Kwok, former co-chairman of Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., Hong Kong's largest real estate developer, was convicted in 2014 of conspiring to bribe Rafael Hui, a former city leader, in exchange for favorable treatment.
Kwok has a net worth of $ 12.4 billion, making it the fifth richest inhabitant of Hong Kong alongside his younger brother, Raymond Kwok, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire's Index.
He told reporters that he had no immediate plan to return to work and that he would take the time to rest. "There have been a lot of changes in the business during the four years I have been away," he told the prison, where he met his brother, his son Adam and his daughter Noelle.
"I need to follow the evolution of the planet and Hong Kong. I would like to visit other countries to study how to integrate technology into the business, "he said.
