The luxury Dalat Palace Hotel is owned by a teenage Filipino boy - really! Under the heading truth is stranger than fiction, wealthy American Larry Hilblom (the "H" in DHL) bummed around Asia and the South Pacific for a decade. (Of course bumming is a relative term when you have a $600 Million fortune!) Apparently Larry couldn't find a place to play golf in Vietnam, so he restored the 1920s vintage Dalat Palace hotel and the adjoining Dalat Palace Golf Club at a reported cost of $40 Million (nearly $1 Million per room!). When he met his tragic demise in a 1995 sea plane crash, he left behind his fortune and a string of children from Vietnam to the Philippines. The courts recently awarded those children $50 million apiece in cash and property, including 3 hotels and two golf course in Vietnam.
