Lee Shau-kee, a shrewd investor who built Henderson Land Development into one of Hong Kong’s biggest property companies, gave away some of his US$29.2 billion fortune to causes including education, youth and elderly care for the underprivileged during his lifetime.
The late tycoon donated cash, land and properties through the Lee Shau Kee Foundation and the Hong Kong Pei Hua Education Foundation, and offered scholarships to support academic excellence and scientific pursuits, benefiting countless underprivileged people in Hong Kong, mainland China and elsewhere.
