Follow Hong Kong Investment Immigration and Hong Kong News: Forbes Chinese Network today released the 2014 Hong Kong Rich List, with Lui Che Woo, Chairman of Galaxy Entertainment Group, earning a fortune, doubling his wealth for the second consecutive year, and rising to second place on the Hong Kong Rich List. His latest net worth is $21 billion, an increase of $11.5 billion within a year, setting a new record for annual wealth growth on the Hong Kong Rich List. The market value of Galaxy Entertainment Group (recently $38 billion) surpasses that of one of Li Ka-shing's main enterprises, Cheung Kong Holdings, which has long held the top position, although Li Ka-shing still maintains the first place with a net worth of $32 billion.
On the Hong Kong Rich List, four billionaires are related to the veteran Macau gambling king, Stanley Ho, and their wealth has also significantly increased. His daughter, Pansy Ho, ranks ninth with a net worth of $6.8 billion, a notable increase from last year's $3.9 billion. Stanley Ho's fourth wife, Angela Leong, is estimated to have a net worth of $2.85 billion, compared to $2.1 billion last year. Stanley Ho's son, Lawrence Ho, ranks twelfth with a net worth of $3.4 billion, the highest among the seven new entrants, thanks to the significant rise in the stock price of Melco International. Stanley Ho's third wife, Ina Chan, also made the list for the first time, ranking forty-sixth with a net worth of $1.1 billion.
