The next five
In order to rank the 50 most powerful people in Asian gaming, the panel considered almost 100 candidates. These five are the people knocking on the door of the Power 50 and those we currently consider the most likely new entrants next year. Although we did rank these five people 51 through 55, we’ve listed them below in alphabetical order. You’ll just have to guess who came in at number 51!

Name Title Organization
Chen Yiy Hwuan CEO – Hotels NagaCorp
Henry Cheng Chairman Chow Tai Fook
Lance Gokongwei Chairman and CEO Universal Hotels and Resorts Inc.
Steve McCann Group CEO and Managing Director Star Entertainment Group
Sonny Yeung Chairman and Executive Director Success Universe Group

Ones to watch
Aside from the 50 people that made our final list and the many others we considered, a handful stood out as particularly worthy of mention. These are usually people whose star is on the rise or who are in a company worth keeping an eye, however in some cases they are people worth watching simply because they are in the news and attracting media attention – not always for the right reasons!
