Family businesses have been in the spotlight, after the CDL saga that saw father and son in a tussle for control over one of Singapore’s largest companies.

But whether it is about inheriting family businesses or family wealth, the process is not a straightforward one.

Banks and financial organisations prepare young people to take over family wealth, through programmes and even boot camps.

In this episode, ST business correspondent Sue-Ann Tan looks at what wealthy kids do to prepare to inherit wealth and companies.

Her guests are Darren Hui, who will one day lead his family’s property management business, and former national athlete Kendrick Lee who co-founded Raffles Family Office.
