Entrepreneur Mario Ho, son of late Macau casino tycoon Stanley Ho, has drawn praise from netizens after being spotted travelling alone on a high-speed train to Guangxi, China, China Press reported.
According to the publication, the 31-year-old, who is married to Chinese supermodel Ming Xi, was dressed casually in a cap, face mask and hoodie.
He reportedly handled his own luggage and displayed good manners by greeting a female staff member who welcomed passengers as they disembarked.
Mario Ho’s unassuming demeanour won admiration from many netizens, who praised him for travelling without bodyguards and avoiding unnecessary attention despite being a casino heir.
Others were also surprised to see someone from such a prominent family opting for public transport rather than private transportation.
“He is such a breath of fresh air among the wealthy,” one user wrote.
Another commented: “I’m surprised that he travelled alone, without any bodyguards accompanying him.”
This is not the first time Ho has attracted attention for his down-to-earth manner.
In July, he was spotted dining with his family at a neighbourhood chicken rice restaurant in Singapore.
On another occasion, he was seen queuing at a McDonald’s outlet in the Lion City.
Ho registered his marriage with Xi, 37, in 2019.
The couple, who share a seven-year-old son and four-year-old daughter, hosted a grand wedding reception for family and friends in Macau earlier in September.
