Stanley Ho
The other women
Angela Leong and Mona Fong share similar pasts and futures.
One is the second wife of a former movie king, Run Run Shaw. The other is the fourth wife of a former casino king, Stanley Ho. The husbands, at 100 and 86 respectively, are long past their prime. The time has come for the wives to show their stuff.The King and his four queens
For more than a year in the late 1990s, the most eye-catching feature of Casino Lisboa, Stanley Ho’s flagship gambling joint in Macau, was not its VIP gaming halls for million-dollar high rollers, its gleaming rows of slot machines, or its scantily clad girls. It was the dirty carpet.
The Casino King loses his grip
As Stanley Ho's health and empire hangs in the balance, he makes a last-ditch attempt to outfox his rivals.
An off-colour joke about Stanley Ho, the Macau casino king, has been making its way around Hong Kong’s gossipy business circles. In recent years, Ho has made himself a pain in the butt of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy factions in order to appease China. Now it’s his turn to have pain in the butt — his rectum was ruptured in a botched operation in Thailand, which was supposed to have relieved his chronic constipation.
