THE LAST WORD:Samueli shares his success with others

Henry Samueli is known as a shrewd businessman.

His Broadcom semiconductor empire is a prime example of his ability to take something from nothing and make billions of dollars.

And when the Newport Beach businessman purchased the Mighty Ducks NHL hockey franchise from the Disney Co. in 2005, many local observers felt it was just a matter of time before that Samueli Midas touch extended to the icy confines of the Honda Center, which he also owns.

Sure enough it did, and the Anaheim Ducks are Stanley Cup champions — the first time in the modern era that a NHL team from the West was able to claim that trophy.

The proud owner showed his team his appreciation with a private fireworks celebration at his and his wife Susan’s Cameo Shores estate.

Let’s just say that this is proof to us that Samueli is all he is “quacked up” to be.
