Robert Kuok a Memoir

Biography & Memoir Business & Economics

Robert Kuok a Memoir, written by Andrew Tanzer, is the first and only authorised biography of Malaysia’s most enigmatic tycoon. This 2018 illustrated hardcover traces the billionaire’s journey from modest beginnings in Johor Bahru to building a pan-Asian commodities empire that quietly shaped regional trade.

The 376-page volume arrives in very good condition: crisp, unmarked pages, a tight binding, and the original dust jacket intact. No previous owner notes, dog-eared corners, or smoke odours—just a clean copy ready for shelf or study. Beaufoy Publishing’s generous trim size and archival photos make the narrative as visually engaging as it is informative.

Entrepreneurship readers, business students, and fans of rags-to-richest stories will value Kuok’s candid reflections on risk, politics, and family legacy. The book doubles as social history, offering insight into Southeast Asia’s post-colonial economies without drifting into academic jargon. A collectible edition for anyone intrigued by Asia’s private wealth and public power.
