"Today, let's take a look at five billionaires in the casino industry. It's clear that the casino business can be incredibly profitable.
The first is the son of the renowned Macau Gambling King, Lawrence Ho, with a fortune of $713 million. After the passing of his father, Stanley Ho, Lawrence Ho now manages Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited and has been awarded as the Best CEO in Asia. Melco Resorts owns several casinos, including City of Dreams in Macau, City of Dreams Manila, and Studio City. With a net worth of $713 million, he is truly a remarkable figure, known for being a loving husband.
The second billionaire is a prominent American businessman, Steve Wynn, with a wealth of $633 million. He is known for his investments in casino hotels. In 1967, Wynn invested a small amount in the Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Four years later, he gained controlling interests in the Golden Nugget, Bellagio, and Wynn Las Vegas, which became some of the world's most famous casinos over the decades. In 2018, he made headlines for resigning amidst allegations of inappropriate conduct without admitting wrongdoing, making him quite a controversial figure.
The third billionaire is the formidable businesswoman, Pansy Ho, with a net worth of $538 million. She is the daughter of Stanley Ho and a giant in the gaming industry. When Stanley Ho passed away in 2020, he left behind a $12 billion fortune, most of which went to his daughter, Pansy Ho. She continues to hold stakes in MGM Macau and other casino ventures. Pansy Ho is known as the beloved daughter of Stanley Ho, and her wealth surpasses her father's, even though she was ""stolen"" by Peter Lam Kin-ngok, according to reports.
The fourth billionaire is the founder of BET365 and a prominent businesswoman, Denise Coates, with a fortune of $355 million. Denise Coates is an ambitious entrepreneur who founded Bet365 online in 2001. To establish the company, she took a £15 million loan. But the risks paid off as Bet365 became one of the world's largest online sports betting websites, making her one of the wealthiest women globally.
The final billionaire on our list is Lui Che Woo, with a net worth of $214.8 million. Lui Che Woo's success is attributed to his keen market sense. He once mentioned that to succeed in business, it's not only about personal diligence and luck but also staying attuned to market trends and brainstorming new ideas. Currently, he owns six casinos in Macau and the publicly-listed Galaxy Entertainment Group.
Behind every successful person, there is a story, and after looking into Lui Che Woo's journey, it's truly inspiring. Going from nothing to success requires persistence. Quitting is easy for everyone, but persevering is a trait not everyone possesses." |
