The Hong-Kong born entrepreneur came to England at the age of 13 for his education. Now living between Hong Kong and Belgravia, London, the 56-year-old is best known as the founder of the high-end lifestyle chain Shanghai Tang which he set up in the mid-1990s. In 1998, he sold the company to Richemont, the luxury goods group. The cigar-smoking Sir David went on to set up the China Clubs (Hong Kong, Beijing and Singapore) and he also opened the Cipriani in Hong Kong and the China Tang restaurant at the Dorchester Hotel.
