Pansy Ho has an estimated net worth of $4.1 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Pansy Ho profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is down from a peak of $4.6 billion.
Pansy Ho is a Hong Kong businesswoman known for her casino and property interests in Macau and Hong Kong. She is chairman of Shun Tak Holdings, a company that develops property, runs hotels, and operates ferries between the 2 cities. She also has stakes in MGM China Holdings and SJM Holdings. Before business became her main focus, she spent part of the 1980s in Hong Kong show business and appeared as an actress.
Her wealth is tied mainly to casinos, along with Shun Tak’s property, hotel, and transport businesses. A major money milestone came in 2011, when MGM China went public and she cleared more than $1.5 billion from the IPO. Forbes currently estimates her net worth at $4.1 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026. That fortune places her among the notable figures in gambling and casinos from Hong Kong.
How Pansy Ho built her wealth
Most of Pansy Ho’s fortune comes from long-running positions in gambling, property, hotels, and transport. She leads Shun Tak Holdings, which was founded by her father, Stanley Ho. The company has businesses in both Hong Kong and Macau, including ferries between the 2 places. On top of that, she holds stakes in MGM China Holdings and SJM Holdings, giving her exposure to some of Macau’s biggest casino operators.
Her biggest cash event named here came in 2011, when MGM China held its IPO and she cleared more than $1.5 billion. Earlier in her career, she also worked in entertainment and later started her own public relations firm at age 26. That show business period helped make her a public figure, but her fortune came from company ownership and leadership roles rather than acting. Over time, casinos became the center of her wealth story.
Forbes net worth snapshot
Forbes has shown a bumpy path for Ho’s wealth across the past several years. It put her at $4.6 billion in 2019, then $3.4 billion in 2020. The estimate moved back up to $4.3 billion in 2021, before slipping to $3.2 billion in 2022. It then rose to $3.6 billion in 2023 and $3.8 billion in 2024. Those swings match the fact that her money is closely tied to listed casino and property holdings.
The more recent Forbes figures kept moving upward. Forbes estimated her fortune at $4 billion in 2025 and $4.5 billion on its 2026 World’s Billionaires list. Forbes also showed $4.1 billion on its Real-Time Billionaires tracker in Oct 2026, which is the current figure as of October 20, 2026. Another business turning point came in 2010, when New Jersey regulators pushed MGM to exit Borgata before later allowing re-entry after Ho cut her stake.
