Common card · No. 476054

Hotung family (Chinese: 何東家族) or Ho family is a prominent Eurasian family in Hong Kong. Originated in the 1890s during British rule in Hong Kong, the family was considered one of the four big families of Hong Kong during the colonial period. While the Hotungs are no longer seen as part of the contemporary big four (popularly called the four major real estate families), they remain the most renowned and the most compelling family. Stanley Ho, the grandnephew of Robert Hotung, founder of the family, expanded his influence through gambling industry in Macau and established his house as one of the four great families of Macau.
