Pansy Ho Chiu-King wants to make sure she gets what’s coming to her. The daughter to Macau’s late casino magnate Stanley Ho has filed court papers ensuring she has a say in what happens with his estate.
Ho passed away on May 26, 2020 at the age of 98. He was estimated to be worth $6.4 billion at the time he passed away, making him one of the richest men in Asia that we know of. He was survived by 15 children from four wives.
The eldest child of Ho’s second marriage, Pansy has lodged a caveat at the Probate Registry in Hong Kong. She demands her solicitors, Baker & McKenzie, be notified before her father’s grant is sealed.
Pansy, a rich woman in her own right now, is being looked to as a new leader for the Ho clan, but not without some competition. Deborah Ho, the youngest child of Ho’s first marriage, has also filed for some control of the inheritance. Michael Hotung, also known as Mak-Shung-ming, Ho’s nephew from his sister, filed as well.
