Lee Boo-jin (Korean: 이부진; born October 6, 1970) is a South Korean businesswoman who is the president and chief executive of Hotel Shilla since 2010, one of Seoul's leading hotels and conference centers. Lee has been dubbed by the media as "Little Lee Kun-hee" and is regarded as a successful businesswoman for her work in Hotel Shilla.[5] She is the younger sister of Samsung Electronics executive chairman Lee Jae-yong,[6] and the older sister of Lee Seo-hyun, chairman of Samsung Welfare Foundation.[7][full citation needed]

She is among the richest people in South Korea. In December 2024, Forbes estimated her net wealth as US$2.3 billion and ranked her 13th richest in the country.[8]

Early life and education

A native of Seoul, South Korea,[1] she is the daughter of Lee Kun-hee, the late billionaire chairman of Samsung.[3] She graduated from Daewon Foreign Language High School in Korea.[6] She earned a bachelor's degree from Yonsei University, majoring in children's studies.[3]

Career

Lee began her career at Samsung Welfare Foundation in 1995.[9]

In 2001, she joined Hotel Shilla, a member company of the Samsung Group, specializing in travel retail and the hospitality business. She has been the president and CEO of Hotel Shilla since December 2010.[9]

Lee was formerly president of corporate strategy for Samsung Everland and an advisor for the trading department of Samsung C&T from December 2010 to December 2015, with the two companies merging to become Samsung C&T Corporation in September 2015.[9]

Since 2015, she has been ranked on Forbes' lists of the World's 100 Most Powerful Women, with 82nd rank in 2023.[10][11]

She was an independent non-executive director of CITIC Limited from 2014 to 2019.[12][full citation needed]

As of February 2023, her net worth was estimated at US$3.3 billion.[13]

Personal life

She lives in Seoul, South Korea.[3]

In 1999, she married Im Woo-jae, known in the South Korean press as "Mr. Cinderella" because of his humble background, as an "employee of a security service affiliate of Samsung Group".[14] They separated in 2012, and have one son together.[3]

In a court ruling in July 2017, Lee was ordered to pay her ex-husband Im Woo-jae $7.6 million, as part of their divorce settlement, with Lee receiving sole custody of their son.[14] Im allegedly counter-sued and sought $1.1 billion as a division of assets, one of the largest amounts ever requested in an asset split trial in South Korea. Their divorce was settled in January 2020 with Lee ordered to pay Im $12.1 million in an asset split.[4]
