Dubbed Asia's Warren Buffett

Lee Shau-kee was not only an outstanding entrepreneur but also a successful financial investor who was dubbed "Asia's Warren Buffett."

In the early 2000s, Lee reaped substantial profits from investments in Japanese high-yield convertible bonds and bank stocks.

He also heavily subscribed to new shares of Chinese state-owned enterprises in their Hong Kong listings, including Ping An Insurance.

Lee also had 'abundant' grandchildren. When he had seven in nine years, a gleeful Lee handed out stacked red packets to his employees.

Lee had two sons, Peter and Martin, and three daughters - Lee Pui-yee, Lee Pui-man and Lee Pui-ling - and a daughter-in-law who he praised.

Former actress Cathy Chui Chi-kei, married to Martin, was dubbed the "hundred billion daughter-in-law".

In their 19 years of marriage, Chui gave birth to four children in eight years. Lee sent her gifts that totaled over a billion dollars.

The gifts included a mansion, a HK$50 million education fund, land worth HK$1.82 billion and a HK$110 million yacht.

Elder son Peter Lee also gave him three grandchildren - triplets born through surrogacy.
