A Hong Kong billionaire family on why the rich need to help


Tony Yeung, managing director of Peterson Group Inc., poses for a photograph in Hong Kong, on Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2019. Yeung leads one of the most private of Hong Kong's private, family run companies. Bloomberg estimates the family's wealth is at least $1.8 billion in Asia, based on public filings and research, but a person familiar with the firm's businesses says its net assets are worth between $4 billion and $5 billion once all the overseas holdings are included.
