Who is Michelle Yeoh husband Dickson Poon?
Sir Dickson Poon, a businessman in Hong Kong who specializes in the retailing of luxury products, was born on June 19, 1956.
Poon serves as the executive chairman of Dickson Concepts (DCIL), a publicly traded business with offices in Hong Kong and the owners of S. T. Dupont and Harvey Nichols. As of March 31, 2008, he held trusts for 40.13% of DCIL’s voting capital.
Poon co-founded D&B Films Co., Ltd. with Sammo Hung, which produced action and martial arts films such as the In the Line of Duty series, Hong Kong 1941, Legacy of Rage, and more than 50 others. “Black Cat II: Assassination of President Yeltsin,” the company’s final project, debuted in 1992.
In order to build the Dickson Poon China Centre, which will house the Bodleian Library’s Chinese Collection as well as bring together scholars with a variety of China-related research interests for the first time, Poon contributed £10 million to St. Hugh’s College in Oxford in November 2010.
Two years after Poon gave to St. Hugh’s College, he gave 20 million GBP to King’s College London to support the school’s already-existing law faculty. The amount given by one person to the university was the highest in its history. The Dickson Poon School of Law at King’s College London was renamed in honor of his generosity.
In the 2015 New Year Honours, Dickson Poon received a knighthood for his contributions to business and charity, particularly higher education.
