The flamboyant tycoon, who loved to dance but advised his nearest and dearest to shun gambling, headed one of the world’s most lucrative gaming businesses through his flagship firm, SJM Holdings Ltd, valued at about $6 billion. Born in Hong Kong, Ho had four wives and 17 known children, and was forced to restructure his business after a legal battle erupted within the family in 2012 over his fortune.His privately held company, Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau, or STDM, has stakes in everything from luxury hotels to helicopters and horse racing.

Oh no, now he'll never reach wife 10

Crapped out.

People should just appreciate that we are not equal some will be rich others poor and that's the game of life, this stupidity of poor people that he did not take anything should stop

The legend of Modern Macau.

Is it just me or does he look like Mr. Burns?

Why call him a king? , are we commemorating the man? his ethos? his actions? his empire? the misery caused?

great legacy..a fortune built on the misery of addicts...

Wondering how much money he took with him?

expect Chinese government will take away the gambling license from his family

And he couldn’t take it with him

👏👏👏👏

His presence in casino gaming was felt in the Philippines way back in the 70’s.. Rest In Peace Stanley Ho

... and still didn't take a single penny with him.

Rich or poor....thou shalt die
