An evening with Tan Su Shan, CEO and director of DBS Group, was sold by auction house Sotheby’s on Saturday for 18,900 Singapore dollars ($14,790) to the winning bidder — more than double the pre-sale estimate of about SG$6,000 to SG$8,000.
The evening includes pre-dinner champagne, a six-person private dinner hosted by Tan and a private tour at Singapore’s National Gallery, an art museum housed in two national monuments, according to Sotheby’s.
“Set in an elegant and intimate setting, this dinner promises stimulating conversation and exceptional company – ideal for the discerning bidder seeking inspiration, connection, and a seat at the table with one of Singapore’s most esteemed figures,” according to the auction house.
Tan, who took over the helm of Southeast Asia’s largest bank in March this year, has over 35 years of experience in banking and wealth management. She previously worked in senior roles at Morgan Stanley and Citi, and joined DBS Bank in 2010 as the group head of consumer banking and wealth management.
Shares of the company have jumped over 10% since Tan took over as the first female Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore-based bank.
