Mario Ho, 31, son of casino mogul Stanley Ho, became one of the youngest minority owners in NBA history by joining the Boston Celtics ownership group last August, focusing on expanding the franchise’s reach in China. With an estimated family fortune of $13 billion, Ho aims to leverage the Celtics’ 25 million Chinese fans through enhanced marketing and broadcasting. His enthusiasm for the team and basketball history impressed owner Bill Chisholm during their initial meeting. As the second Asian-born NBA owner, Ho’s connections suggest a promising future for the Celtics in Macao.
