Biography
Tung Chee Hwa is the eldest son of shipping magnate Tung Chao Yung, who founded what became one of Hong Kong's largest shipping companies.
After running Orient Overseas for 14 years, Chee Hwa handed over the reins to younger brother Chee Chen in order to serve as Hong Kong's first chief executive.
In 2018 the two brothers sold their entire 68.7% stake to China shipping giant COSCO, pocketing $4.3 billion.
His two sons, Alan and Andrew, were both executives at Orient Overseas.
