Jacky Heung was sued by a Macau casino for allegedly borrowing 2 million Hong Kong dollars (about 1.08 million ringgit) as a casino patron in 2024 in exchange for chips, but not repaying the full amount on the same day. Although he made partial repayment himself, he was reported to still owe 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars (about 758,000 ringgit), which led the casino to formally file a lawsuit through the Hong Kong courts. However, within just one day, the casino reversed its position, now claiming Jacky Heung was actually a guarantor and did not owe the money himself, and that the entire debt has been fully settled.
Macau casino "MGM" filed the lawsuit against Jacky Heung on the 15th, but by the 16th, the case took a dramatic turn. According to Macau Daily, the casino stated Jacky Heung had actually provided a credit guarantee for another individual and was implicated as a result. Since the debtor failed to repay on time, the casino initiated legal procedures in accordance with the law to recover the amount. “Recently, all sums have already been fully repaid, and the related legal process has been terminated.”
MGM further explained in its statement that this matter was part of its routine legal procedures and did not concern a direct gambling debt owed by Jacky Heung himself. Given the trouble caused to Jacky by this incident, the company urged all parties to stop spreading false reports. In fact, Jacky Heung’s staff previously clarified publicly that Jacky did not gamble himself, asking, “Do you really think the Heung family would be short of that bit of cash?”
As the son of a Hong Kong entertainment industry heavyweight, Jacky Heung has been supported by his wealthy parents, but most of his movie roles have seen lukewarm results. In 2019, he married Taiwanese actress Bea Hayden, and the couple now have two children together, though there have repeatedly been rumors of marital issues; Jacky later clarified that their relationship is actually very good.
In recent years, he has shifted his focus to livestream commerce, embracing a flamboyant style—including even appearing in women's clothing. While public opinion is divided, he has succeeded in attracting attention, with his livestream sales once reaching 50 million yuan (about 29.6 million ringgit) over two days, successfully carving out his own niche.
