Refuse to inherit the inheritance, build your own empire and become a billionaire
Macau casino king Ha Hong San has 4 wives and 17 children. The turbulent war of the Ha family has always been a topic of interest for decades in the Asian press. The most famous son of this tycoon must be mentioned Ha Sieu Quynh – a powerful woman who took over the casino empire or young children who often appear on entertainment news. But few people know that Ha Hong San has a son who is also extremely successful with his own path, that is Ha Du Long.
Don’t mind becoming the successor
As an Asian born in the previous generation, powerful tycoon Ha Hong San is said to also have traditional ideas. Therefore, since the birth of the first son, and the only son of the eldest Le Uyen Hoa, Ha Du Quang (born in 1949), he has been “crucified” as the heir to the family. ethnicity. Ha Hong San is very loving and focuses on training her eldest son to be a worthy successor. Indeed, later Ha Du Quang became a smart and intelligent businessman.
But the events of 1981 changed all that. During a trip to Portugal, Ha Du Quang and his wife had a traffic accident and died suddenly. After his death, Ha Du Long (born in 1976) – the youngest son and only son of her two Lam Quynh Anh became the eldest son of the Ha family.
Ha Du Long is the oldest surviving son of the Macau casino king
When his half-brother died, Ha Du Long was only 5 years old. However, that does not mean that he will replace Ha Du Quang’s “prince” position by default. Right from the age of 4, Ha Du Long moved to Canada to live with her mother.
During his time in Canada, he lived a life that, although affluent, was not as lavish as people imagine about the rich kid. After graduating from university, the young master did not stay in Canada, nor inherited his father’s business, but returned to Hong Kong (China) to start a business from scratch. Even though he is the oldest son in the family, Ha Du Long has never been too salty or expressed his desire to compete, as the heir to the Macau casino system of the Ha family.

The journey to becoming a self-made billionaire
Initially, Ha Du Long worked as an intern in a securities company. “The children of the cardboard family are not like feathers or wings”, he is considered an outstanding character. After only a few months of working, he was promoted to assistant manager. But the billionaire’s son’s ambition has never stopped there. Ha Du Long wants to start a business and be the boss. At the age of 23, he founded his first company.
After that, Ha Du Long has continuously challenged herself, going through many start-ups and different companies, including the family business. His most typical achievement in his 20s was to establish a technology company and successfully list it in Hong Kong. This company makes millions of dollars every year.
In 2006, the gambling king let his son take over a loss-making company for 4 years, but Ha Du Long still accepted. Then, under the young master’s management, the company turned losses into profits, which was the Melco empire.
Ha Du Long is the one who revived and built the billion-dollar empire Melco
Ha Du Long has since had 16 years as the Chairman and CEO of Melco International Development. When it first started, this was just a “forgotten” company in the huge and complicated business assets of the Ha family. Melco only really revived after being under Ha Du Long. It can be said that, even though Melco was not founded, this empire was the young master’s lifelong passion and without Ha Du Long, Melco would never have been as successful as it is today.
Currently, Melco is a Hong Kong-listed entertainment group, and the parent company of Melco Resorts & Entertainment – an emerging empire operating a chain of luxury resorts and casinos in Asia and Australia. and Europe. A subsidiary of the business, Melco Crown, has also been successfully listed in the US, raising an amount of up to 1.5 billion USD. There was a time when the market value of Ha Du Long company was higher than that of his father’s business.
The great success of the group has helped Ha Du Long become a billionaire. According to Forbes, in 2021, Ha Du Long’s personal fortune is 2.1 billion USD (about 48,000 billion VND), much richer than his siblings. He is currently the 31st richest person in Hong Kong.
After Ha Hong San’s death in 2020, there were also rumors that her eldest son – the most powerful wife – would take over the business, which is the SJM casino business group worth about 14.9 billion USD. . However, reality has proven that the successors are Ha Sieu Quynh and Ha Sieu Phuong – Ha Du Long’s biological sisters. He still owns a small stake in SJM through the financial fund of the Ha family.
The 46-year-old businessman at the time made it clear to the press that he had no interest in being the second casino king: “My passion is in Melco. It is what I build with my own hands is the most attractive to me.”
Ha Du Long became a billionaire himself without having to rely too much on his family
Despite living a secret life and rarely appearing in the media, Ha Du Long is still one of the most admired children of Ha Hong San thanks to her talent and independence. Even this man’s personal life is awe-inspiring. Unlike his father, who has four wives, Ha Du Long has only one love, which is his “young and old” friend La Tu Nhan. The couple once held a lavish wedding with more than 100 tables.
The couple now have 2 little princesses and are still sometimes caught by the paparazzi walking the streets together. Not getting caught up in family disputes, nor playing debauchery, Ha Du Long lives an exemplary life and has her own path.
