Fountain of Wealth Singapore features prominently among the major tourist attractions in Singapore. The fountain, situated right in the heart of the Suntec City Mall, is a bronze structure and is the world's largest fountain with its base area measuring a good 1,683 square meters.

Fountain of Wealth Singapore weighs something around eighty five tones and is held up by four, slanting, bronze columns. The ring of the fountain shots water that accumulates in the reservoir below. Water level shoots up to thirty meters in the heart of the Fountain of Wealth. It is believed that the fountain is situated at a good feng-shui spot and the water gushing out of it is symbolic of the essence of life. The water that flow inwards is indicative of the riches flowing in. It is customary for the visitors to walk round the fountain and touch the water which is supposed to usher in good luck and prosperity. At night the beauty of the fountain increases manifold as it is up for a laser show.

The location of the Fountain of Wealth Singapore is quite strategic besides the feng-shui significance. Suntec City is so designed that the five tower blocks give the appearance of the fingers and the thumb of the left hand coming out of the ground. The fountain represents the palm of the hand. The fountain's base is belowground and the restaurant area of the Suntec City lies on the base perimeter of the fountain.
