Lawrence Ho

Lawrence Ho, son of Macau gambling-industry legend Stanley Ho, gets the bulk of his fortune from his stake in Hong Kong-listed holding company, Melco International, the leisure and entertainment outfit he runs. Its Melco Crown Entertainment, a venture with Australian billionaire James Packer, has one of six concessions and subconcessions to own and operate gambling outfits in Macau. It also has a casino-resort project in Manila, where it opened up a Nobu Hotel with Robert DeNiro in 2014. He also heads Summit Ascent, which obtained majority control in a casino project in Russia in 2014.
