Henry Cheng Kar-shun, GBM, GBS (Chinese: 鄭家純; born 11 December 1946) is a Hong Kong billionaire property developer.
Cheng is the elder son of Cheng Yu-tung who founded Hong Kong-listed New World Development of which Henry succeeded his father as chairman.[2] Cheng is chairman of NWS Holdings, New World China Land, and New World Department Store China. He is also a Standing Committee Member of the Eleventh Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.[3][4]
In the 2012 Chief Executive election in Hong Kong, Cheng initially supported Henry Tang but switched to support the eventual winner, Leung Chun-ying. When Leung's second Secretary for Development, Paul Chan, became embroiled in a property and credibility scandal (as had the first, Mak Chai-kwong), Cheng was the first public figure to offer support.[5]
Cheng has six children (from oldest to youngest): Adrian, Sonia, Brian, Christopher, Chak-wang and Chak-yin.
In 2016, Henry Cheng donated RMB$300 million to China Internet Development Foundation to support cyber security training.[6]
He was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal (GBM) by the Hong Kong SAR Government in 2017.[7]
