Calvin Cheng is one of the most popular and richest Businessperson who was born on September 24, 1975 in Singapore. From 2001 to 2004, Cheng was Asia-Pacific Head of Elite Model Management. He also opened an Elite agency for India and developed other projects. Cheng established Elite Models Singapore Pte Ltd. In 2005, the company was renamed Looque Models Singapore Pte Ltd. He ran many franchising companies through Looque in the areas of media and entertainment, as well as talent management and business.
Looque Models was one of several model agencies that were fined for price fixing on 23 November 2011. Cheng took advantage of the higher agency commissions and claimed in defense that Cheng was trying to increase models’ wages. CCS found that AMIP engaged with anticompetitive pricing, which resulted in customers paying more and had a significant and adverse effect on the market. In its decision, the Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS), noted that Cheng was the president of the Association of Modelling Industry Professionals Singapore. He instructed AMIP members how they could hide the collusion in order to avoid detection and complaints. Cheng appealed, claiming statements made in the decision were detrimental to his character. The appeal was denied because Cheng had not been personally fined.
In November 2015, while he was on the Media Literacy Council, Cheng wrote provocative comments about killing the children of terrorists on the Facebook page of entrepreneur and commentator Devadas Krishnadas. His comments led to a verbal chiding from Tan Cheng Han, the Chairman of the MLC. In addition, two reports calling for investigation were filed with police, including one by Augustin Lee Tze Shih, organising secretary of the People’s Power Party. Cheng apologized to the MLC.
In August 2015, Cheng merged one of his franchise businesses, Lumina Looque Knowledge Hubs Pte Ltd, with a Chinese firm called Retech that focused on educational technology. In June 2017 ReTech made an initial public offering of stock on the Australian Stock Exchange.
In 2009, Cheng was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.
