Stanley Ho Hung-sun was a Hong Kong-Macau business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. He was the founder and Chairman of SJM Holdings, which owns nineteen casinos in Macau including the Grand Lisboa. Ho had been nicknamed variously
Godfather and
King of Gambling, reflecting the government-granted monopoly he held on the Macau gambling industry for 75 years. His wealth is divided amongst his daughter Pansy Ho who owns MGM Macau, fourth wife Angela Leong who is managing director of SJM Holdings, and son Lawrence Ho who owns City of Dreams.
