Lee Shau Kee's heirs have contrasting love lives

Lee Shau Kee, one of Hong Kong's wealthiest property tycoons, has two sons with contrasting love lives. His older son, Peter, is 64 and remains single. His father ended Peter's first romance, which has affected his ability to find a partner since. Peter Lee is known for his intelligence and interest in Buddhism and Chinese philosophy. Despite hopes for a traditional family life, he has chosen a different path. Initially, his father supported his early relationship, but after consulting an astrologer, he intervened and funded the girlfriend's studies abroad, ending their romance. This experience has influenced Peter's future relationships. Although he later became a father through surrogacy, having three children in 2010, he has yet to find a long-term partner. He often reflects on his father's actions and feels they have left him unfulfilled in love. In contrast, Martin Lee, Peter's younger brother, is happily married to actress Cathy Chui. They celebrated their marriage in a lavish ceremony in Australia in 2006, costing around US$23.2 million. The couple has four children and Martin has shown great affection towards Cathy, showering her with gifts after each childbirth. Martin and Cathy enjoy a wealthy and fulfilling life together. He currently works alongside Peter at Henderson Land Development, the family business. Their father, who retired in 2019, had high hopes for his sons to take over the family empire, and they now hold important positions within the company. Lee Shau Kee built his fortune as one of the first property developers in Hong Kong. He founded Henderson Land and expanded his wealth significantly over the years. As of February, his net worth is estimated at US$29.2 billion, making him one of the richest individuals in Asia.
