Biography
April Goh is a granddaughter of the late Singaporean paints tycoon Goh Cheng Liang, who died in August 2025 at age 98.
The Goh family draws the bulk of its wealth from a majority stake in Japan's Nippon Paint Holdings, one of the world's largest paint manufacturers.
April, together with her five cousins, inherited the bulk of their grandfather's fortune.
Her father is Cheun Jin, the younger son of the late patriarch who started making paints in a small factory in Singapore before partnering with Nippon Paint in 1962.
She is currently a graduate student at Columbia University School of Social Work.
