Co-founder of Sun Hung Kai alongside Kwok Tak-Seng, the late father of Hong Kong's Kwok brothers, Lee Shau Kee's wealth centres on Henderson Land Development, a powerhouse in the property sector. After stepping down as Henderson Land's chairman in 2019, his sons Martin and Peter assumed co-chairmanship. Lee's philanthropy extends to education, with donations exceeding $400 million. His humble beginnings, marked by limited access to fish or meat, underscore his journey from adversity to affluence.
