Gordon Wu Net Worth: Gordon Wu is a Hong Kong billionaire who has a net worth of $1.13 billion. Born in Hong Kong in 1935, Gordon Wu is a business icon who acquired his education at Princeton University. Best known for being the Chairman of the Asian infrastructure firm Hopewell Holdings Ltd, he has been a staunch advocate for the construction of Asia’s largest bridge project linking Hong Kong, Macau and China’s Zhuhai city, a project whose realization spanned over two decades. However, he saw a decrease in his wealth after a decline in shares of his flagship Hopewell Holdings. Also, the company completed a reduced number of real estate projects than in 2012 and changed their plans about spinning off its real estate business in a new Hong Kong listing. Still, work is progressing on the company’s 55-story Hopewell Center II, which is said to feature one of the city’s largest hotels. Wu’s son Thomas Jefferson, who now serves a managing director, is heir apparent.
