His net worth has also been elevated thanks to the success of his wife, who has an estimated net worth at $50 million. As he continues his endeavors, it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life, Education, and Career Beginnings

While there is little information about Tim’s childhood, it is known that he had very few restrictions, and his parents wanted him to pursue the career he wanted growing up. He also showed a lot of intellect in performing well during high school, drawing a lot of praise from teachers. After matriculating, he enrolled in the University of Siegen in Germany and completed his bachelor’s degree in 1991.

he then went to the University of Hartford to complete an MBA. Afterwards, he enrolled in the University of Somerset to study for a Ph.D. While working on his doctorate, he was also working with the Lehman Brothers company as the head of mergers and acquisitions. He had control over the Asia-Pacific region, subsequently stay with the company for six years. After the completion of his doctorate and a long tenure with the company, he then left to pursue a working opportunity with Goldman Sachs, where he was given the position as Executive Director of the Mergers and Acquisitions division of the company.

Goldman Sachs

Tim served well for the next few years as his career with Goldman Sachs continued, and eventually, his achievements saw him promoted to acting chief-of-staff to Richard Gnodde. He worked his way up and eventually became the co-president heading the company’s Singapore market, where he stayed there for a few years until relinquishing his position to move to Hong Kong and expand the company’s reach there.

The company grew even further, and he became Chairman of the entire South-East Asia Division. As the head of the division, he helped create billion dollar deals with the Malaysian state fund called 1Malaysia Development Bhd or 1MDB, however, issues surfaced when rumors started spreading as to whether or not 1MDB was actually using the money on local projects as intended. Evidence led to suspicion that funds may have been misappropriated, leading to an investigation concluding that there were some inaccuracies as well as unauthorized moves made by the company. The bank’s popularity in the country dropped significantly, and eventually led to Tim leaving Goldman Sachs in 2017. His current employment situation is unknown.
