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.[1] 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.[2][3]
In the 2012 Chief Executive election in Hong Kong, Cheng initially supported Henry Tang but switched to support the eventual winner, Leung Chun-ying. Leung's second Secretary for Development, Paul Chan, became embroiled in a property and credibility scandal, similar to the first, Mak Chai-kwong. Cheng was the first public figure to offer support.[4]
Cheng has six children (from oldest to youngest): Adrian, Sonia, Brian, Christopher, Chak-Wang and Chak-yin.
He was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal (GBM) by the Hong Kong SAR Government in 2017.[5]
