Obituary] Stanley Ho Passes Away at 98
Legendary Casino Kingpin Stanley Ho (何鴻燊) passed away on May 26, 2020 at approximately 5:00 a.m. in Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital. He was 98. His family, who was beside him on his deathbed, confirmed his passing at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Living a life of legacy, Stanley’s history was immortalized in a duology of films directed by Wong Jing (王晶). He was also infamous for his many affairs and having a large family, akin to that of an emperor’s harem. He had four wives and seventeen children. Known as one of the first Hong Kong billionaires, his large financial empire had always been the center of interest for the media.
Stanley accomplished many great things throughout his life, but the most memorable of all occurred ten years ago, when his family of four houses got involved in an inheritance dispute that topped headlines across Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China for several years. It all started on July 29, 2009, when Stanley fell and injured his head at the home of his fourth wife Angela Leong (梁安琪). He was rushed to the emergency room, his life at risk. Reports at the time falsely claimed that he had died. News reports emphasized that Stanley hadn’t revealed his will, nor had he considered how to delegate his assets to the four houses. This fall kickstarted a longwinded inheritance dispute that topped headline for the next few years.
Stanley Ho Was “Coerced” to Allocate his Assets a Certain Way
On December 20, 2009, Stanley requested a temporary leave from the hospital to attend celebrations for the tenth anniversary of Macau’s handover back to China. Stanley was away from the hospital for seven hours, and even greeted Hu Jintao (胡錦濤), then-president of China, at a public event.
