Receiving the DAUGHTERS of a handful of Hong Kong’s business elite together for the photo shoot was a thought easier from the conception in comparison to the execution. But after months of e-mails and phone calls, amid the juggling of job, travel and family commitments, the date arrived in early June at among city’s most chic cafes from the up-and-coming Western district.

Then came the last-minute schedule changes: One rushed from the construction site in China, then dashed off early to offer an address; another was required to leave in advance of agenda for a sudden meeting; as well as a third was due in the office by 5 p.m., eventhough it was Friday. These bankruptcies are not ladies of leisure.

But over dessert and then champagne, amid oohs and ahs at jewelry and garments, the girls swapped stories regarding their lives and work, which run from services (Winnie Chiu heads Dorsett Hospitality, part of father David Chiu’s Distance Consortium International; Sabrina ho, daughter of casino magnate Stanley Ho, is active in the family’s hotel business while also holding around the CEO job at Poly Auction Macau) to property (Gigi Chao is vice chairman on the family’s Cheuk Nang Holdings) and from shipping (Sabrina Chao chairs family-owned Wah Kwong Maritime Transport) to tippling (Lili Ma, daughter of Ping An Insurance Chairman and CEO Peter Ma, is director of Mayfair Fine Wines). Yen Kuok, youngest offspring of Malaysian-Chinese tycoon Robert Kuok, has online site Guiltless, which sells secondhand luxury goods.

As is a fact of life among Asia’s prominent commercial clans, an internet of ties connects the viewers: Chiu, 36, and Sabrina Chao, 42, are sisters-in-law; Gigi Chao, 37, and Sabrina Chao are cousins; Sabrina Ho Chiu Yeng, 25, is besties with Chiu’s youngest sister and possesses known Yen Kuok, 26, since childhood; and Ma, 34, is friends with another of Chiu’s sisters.
