Biography
Michael Lee Tze-hau graduated from Precious Blood Kindergarten in Happy Valley in 1967 (his classmate was entertainer Michelle Yim)[1]. In 2003, he became Managing Director of Hysan Development. The company's business focused on property investment and leasing. During the tenure of Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong’s economy was sluggish, and there was competition from other office landlords such as International Finance Centre. Before his term, in 1996, Hysan purchased Entertainment Building in Central for HK$3.6 billion but sold it in September 2005 for HK$2.7 billion, resulting in a loss of HK$940 million—a relatively rare loss. On May 8, 2007, a shareholders’ meeting approved his retirement from all duties at Hysan Development.[2][3]
On September 8, 2022, the Hong Kong Jockey Club held its annual general meeting, where then Vice-Chairman Michael Lee Tze-hau was elected as the new Chairman, succeeding Chan Nam-ngok.[4]

In June 2012, Michael Lee Tze-hau married his Mongolian girlfriend Munkhzul Odkhuu after dating for three years.[5] The couple later divorced. In 2016, he quietly remarried Pong Cheuk-yee, granddaughter of Pong Ting-yuen of Siu Wing Steel and daughter of Pong Hei.
