Li Ka-shing 李嘉诚 (Hong Kong business magnate, investor, and philanthropist)

Based on the birth date commonly used by the Bazi masters in Hong Kong instead of the one shown on Wikipedia, Mr Li is a Yin Earth 己 person according to the study of Bazi. Born in an Earth month, together with 4 other supportive elements in Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, his Day Master is excessively powerful. When a chart is too strong, a reversal of energy flow among the five elements can occur. His chart is one such example and thus his favourable elements will be different from a usual strong chart. Such a chart is known as an Excessively Strong Structure 专旺格. His favorable elements in this case will be Earth and Fire.
 
As you can see, the two characters 嘉诚 that made up his Chinese name are both of the Earth elements which are favorable to his Bazi. This in itself is already the best condition and the main reason that makes the name especially helpful to him. The other factors explained later are important as well but act as a secondary role. 


In terms of the character strokes combinations, his name has the auspicious number of 21 and 35, with the former giving him leadership qualities as well. Although there is the number 28 which is not so auspicious, giving him many struggles, it also provided him the opportunities to hone his business acumen and skills over the years.


The Direct Officer 正官 in his name made him someone who is law-abiding, self-disciplined, calm, good temper; possess managerial skills and also a keen eye for recognizing talented people. 
The Indirect Wealth 偏财 in his name gave him the natural ability to attract money opportunities and the skills to optimize them to amass greater wealth. It also made him sharp on his speech and possesses the ability to build good relationship with others.


There is no such thing as a 100% perfect name but in his case, I would give it a 90% score since it has met many criteria for an auspicious Chinese name.
