Ho disputed a supposed transfer of his entire multibillion-dollar stake to five of his children and one of his wives, calling it a "robbery" that went against his desire to divide the fortune equally among various branches of his family. Ho, centre, his daughter Pansy, left, and his wife Angela Leong, right, attend the opening ceremony of the Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation exhibition in Hong Kong in May 2009. His weakened condition may have set the stage for a very public family feud that erupted in 2011 over control of Macau casino operator SJM Holdings Ltd. He left the hospital after seven months and was rarely seen in public afterward, usually in a wheelchair.
In 2009, Ho underwent brain surgery after he reportedly fell at home and hit his head. He also had stakes in businesses that run everything from the ferries and helicopters connecting Hong Kong and Macau, to department stores, hotels, Macau's airport and its horse-racing tracks. It's for the house." Diverse business holdings I don't have the patience," Ho told The Associated Press in a rare interview in 2001. His extended family erupted in high-profile squabbles over his empire during his later years. Tall, handsome and of mixed Chinese and European heritage, Ho fathered 17 children with four women. Ho's daughter Pansy Ho, centre, speaks to the press with Ho's family members outside a hospital in Hong Kong on Tuesday.
