WGHK Summit Features NBA Legend, Robotic Drummers
The fourth edition of the Wealth for Good in Hong Kong Summit featured a number of notable spectacles, including a fireside chat with NBA legend Yao Ming and a robotic drummer performance.
The fourth edition of the Wealth for Good in Hong Kong (WGHK) Summit, based on the theme of «Building Lasting Legacies», concluded on March 24, according to a statement. It saw the attendance of over 400 family office decision-makers, next generation successors, industry leaders and pioneers from Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Oceania, and Africa.
The event included three panel discussions and a fireside chat with NBA legend and former chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association Yao Ming.
«Hong Kong is where East and West meet, Chinese and other cultures converge. Those who are more inclusive, more open, and more diverse will have more opportunities, and are more likely to spark the greatest inspiration and innovation. That is Hong Kong's most distinctive and valuable advantage,» said the eight-time NBA all-star and hall of famer, who is also the founder of Yao Foundation.
«I'm happy to continue serving as a bridge between East and West – bringing different visions and people together, and supporting one another to succeed, so that everyone benefits.»

«Facing risks and uncertainty, investors diversify by necessity. Families seeking to preserve their legacy look for a safe haven – not merely a place to park capital, but a place with institutional strengths, legal clarity and credible commitments,» remarked financial secretary Paul Chan during the gala dinner.
«Hong Kong is not only a safe harbour. It is also a city of business opportunities, and a platform for growth, for connection and for the purposeful deployment of capital. For families from around the world, Hong Kong is, no doubt, the best gateway to tap the enormous opportunities on the Mainland.»
