Louis XIII Holdings Ltd raised HK$1.03 billion (US$133.5 million) for a planned casino resort in Cotai, the company said last week. The proceeds from the combined sale of equity and zero-coupon convertible bonds will fund construction of its US$1-billion casino resort. Louis XIII Holdings Limited has christened its Macau hotel, “The 13”, the most luxurious hotel ever built with an estimated cost of $1.4 billion which also calculates up to $7 million per room. Located in the gambling hub of Cotai, Macau, in China, it is expected to open in late summer 2016 as one of the most expensive hotels ever built. Hong Kong-listed Louis XIII Holdings has hosted a spectacular ground breaking ceremony in Macau for its future, boutique casino-hotel in Cotai, which named after Louis XIII will be designed in styles from the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

He was the joint chairman of Hong Kong-listed The 13 Holdings Limited. He is the chairman of The Taipan Investment Group and vice-chairman of Rio Entertainment Group, which operates the Rio Hotel & Casino in Macau.

Hung was co-head of investment banking for Asia at Merrill Lynch[when?]. He later formed his own investment company. Hung has also previously served as the Vice Chairman of eSun Holdings and as a non-executive director of Lippo Group's AcrossAsia Limited.

In 2013 he set about developing a luxury casino-resort in Macau, under the name Louis XIII, with the help of Princess Tania de Bourbon Parme. By 2017, the project was lavishly built and under a new name 'The 13', but was in financial difficulties, having neither opened nor been awarded a casino licence. Hung's main vehicle and the operating company for the project, 13 Holdings Limited, had targeted extremely wealthy officials and the business elite from the People's Republic of China. However, in 2014, Chinese Communist Party's general secretaryXi Jinping, in Macau for its 15th anniversary as an SAR, announced his government's displeasure at such ostentatious excess, as part of his crackdown on corruption, which severely impacted the project's ambitions. The company sold a 52 percent stake in its engineering subsidiary Paul Y Engineering.[4][5]
