Who owns Resorts World Malaysia?

It is owned by Genting UK plc, a subsidiary of Genting Malaysia Berhad.



Resorts World Malaysia (the primary brand for the Genting Highlands resort) is owned and operated by Genting Malaysia Berhad, which is a core subsidiary of the broader Genting Group. In 2026, the company remains under the significant influence of the Lim family, specifically Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, the son of the resort's founder, Lim Goh Tong. Genting Malaysia is a publicly traded company on the Bursa Malaysia (KLSE), meaning while the Lim family holds a controlling interest, thousands of individual and institutional shareholders also own a piece of the company. The "Resorts World" brand itself has expanded globally under the Genting umbrella, with sister properties in Singapore (owned by Genting Singapore), Las Vegas, New York, and Birmingham. In 2026, Genting Malaysia is not just a casino operator; it is a diversified conglomerate involved in leisure, hospitality, real estate, and even "life sciences." For the 2026 visitor, knowing that the resort is still "family-led" explains the consistent focus on long-term expansion and the massive investments in new attractions like the SkyWorlds theme park, as the company seeks to maintain its status as Southeast Asia's premier hilltop destination.
