Maisy Ho, Philanthropist and Daughter of Stanley Ho, Dies at 57

Heartfelt tributes continued to be paid to Maisy Ho Chiu-ha, remembered as a dedicated philanthropist, after the daughter of late Hong Kong and Macau tycoon Stanley Ho Hung-sun died on Sunday, having led a notably private life.

On Monday, official statements and tributes poured in from government officials and associations to mourn the loss of Maisy Ho, who had devoted herself to serving the community.

She was one of 17 children of “king of gambling” Stanley Ho, and one of five siblings born to Lucina Laam King-ying, the second of the tycoon’s four wives, who died in 2022.

Maisy Ho was an executive director at family business Shun Tak Holdings.

A profile of Maisy Ho on Shun Tak’s website, taken from the 2024 annual report and updated in July last year, listed her age as 57.

She once told her alma mater, Pepperdine University in the United States, in the late 2010s, that she planned to devote the next five to 10 years to serving the community by using her knowledge, experience, personal connections and influence.
