The Buzz | The richest exaggeration: Website wrongfully claims Stanley Ho’s death

In a profile of Angela Leong described as a “Macau-based entrepreneur [who] has an estimated net worth of USD2.3 billion as of March 2013 according to Forbes,” by the website therichest.com there are three instances claiming her husband, Stanley Ho,  “38-years her senior,”  is dead. “Since its founding, Leong has been serving as the director of Sociedade de Jogos de Macau which is a casino company owned by Stanley Ho, her late husband,” the site states.
“Angela Leong was married to Stanley Ho who was 38 years her senior. She has five children with Ho, though they were not officially married. The couple’s children are Sabrina, Arnaldo, Mario, Yau-kai, and Alice.”
Finally therichest.com claims that, “Since Ho’s death, Angela Leong took control of SJM Holdings, the former’s core gambling business.”
Macau Daily Times contacted SJM sources who denied the claim. “Stanley Ho is alive and well,” Ms Mimi Chan told MDT yesterday.
