Law Kar Po (born 2 August 1948) is a Hong Kong businessman who chairs the Singapore-based Park Hotel Group and Park Capital Group. The groups operate hotels across Asia under the Grand Park and Park Hotel brands.[1][2] On 12 November 2026 the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires list ranked Law 389th in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$9.3 billion; Forbes lists the source of wealth as real estate.[1][3] In the annual World's Billionaires list published in 2026, Forbes had ranked Law 370th, at US$9.4 billion.[4]

Bossini and Park Hotel Group

Tatler Asia says Law's family arrived in Hong Kong penniless in the 1940s. With his father, Law Ting-pong, he gradually built a textile business that opened the first Bossini clothing store in 1987.[2] According to Tatler, he expanded into property and hospitality by buying Park Hotels in the 1990s. It says the groups now run more than ten hotels in eight cities across five countries.[2] Forbes says Park Hotel Group manages more than a dozen hotels across Asia and serves the luxury market.[1]

Family in the business

Accounts of his son Allen's role differ. Tatler Asia says Allen is chief executive, having been chosen by his father to run the business at 24.[2] Forbes's 2026 profile says Allen runs his own longevity and lifestyle business from Singapore and in 2025 launched a venture capital fund, Seveno Capital, to invest in wellness companies.[1] Both sources say his daughter Wendy, a lawyer, is an executive director overseeing the family's real estate investments; Forbes places her at Park Capital Group.[2][1] Forbes says his elder brother, Kenneth Lo, heads the clothing manufacturer Crystal International, which he took public in November 2017.[1]
