Years ago, at just 18, Ven Ajahn Siripanyo visited Thailand to connect with his mother’s family. During the trip, he participated in a temporary ordination at a Buddhist retreat. What started as a brief experience turned into a lifelong spiritual journey, News18 reported.

Siripanyo, the only son of Malaysian billionaire Ananda Krishnan, renounced a fortune worth over $5 billion to embrace monastic life. Krishnan, one of Malaysia’s richest men, has vast business interests in telecommunications, media, oil, gas, real estate, and even owned Aircel, once a sponsor of the IPL team Chennai Super Kings, the report added.


His business empire spans telecom, satellites, media, oil, gas, and real estate industries. The billionaire also owns Aircel, the phone company that once sponsored the renowned IPL team Chennai Super Kings, led by cricket legend MS Dhoni.

According to the South China Morning Post, Siripanyo was groomed from an early age to inherit his father’s empire. However, he chose a different path, detaching himself from material possessions. Krishnan, a devout Buddhist, has reportedly supported his son’s decision and remains committed to philanthropy.

A monk with royal lineage
Siripanyo’s lineage is as remarkable as his life choices. His mother, Momwajarongse Suprinda Chakraban, is a member of the Thai royal family, giving him a noble heritage. For the past 20 years, he has lived as a monk, residing at the Dtao Dum Monastery on the Thailand-Myanmar border, where he serves as the abbot, the report added.

Normally, the low-profile tycoon spends most of his time in the South of France where he lives with his wife and young daughter.

Ananda has two other children from his first marriage to a Thai princess. But there has been no indication whether any of his children will take over from the 72-year-old  who made his fortune as an oil trader and created two household names in Malaysia — Astro and Maxis.

Ananda is one of the few businessmen who moved out of the old economy,  oil trading and property development, to the new economy of telecommunications and entertainment.

“He is way ahead of his time and the rest of the crop,” says a banker.

The reclusive billionaire from Brickfields had his early education in Victoria Institution and was a Colombo Plan scholar. He did his Master in Business Administration at Harvard where he met the Arabs who would give him his break in the oil trading business.

In the 1970s, he was roped in by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to beef up Petronas' trading business. Ananda was a director of Petronas for two years in the mid-1980s.

But by that time he had caught the attention of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who later handpicked Ananda to lead the development of one of Malaysia’s icons — the Petronas Twin Tower and the surrounding KLCC development.

Ananda paid RM110 million for the former Selangor Turf Club site. On top of that, a premium of RM320 million was paid to Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur to convert the status of the land for the development of KLCC.

The vehicle to develop the land was Sri Kuda Sdn Bhd and Ananda roped in Petronas for the job, selling a 51% stake in the company to the national oil company for RM681 million in the 1990s. The company was eventually renamed KLCC Holdings Sdn Bhd.

His biggest coup to-date is said to be the sale of his 49% stake in KLCC Holdings Bhd to Petronas in 2002 for an undisclosed sum. Industry officials estimated the sale then to be worth about RM1.2 billion. The proceeds were reportedly used to beef up Measat and Maxis.

“That was probably his biggest pay day,” says the banker. “The series of corporate exercises in the following years, including the privatisation and re-listing of Maxis, the privatisation of Astro, Measat and now Tanjong are nothing compared to the KLCC deal.”
