Biography
Williams was educated at Xavier College, Melbourne.
He is the founder of Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex, established in 1994, located in Melbourne, Victoria. Crown is Australia's largest casino and one of the largest single casinos in the world. In 1999, Williams sold the majority of his interests to Publishing and Broadcasting Limited and other entities associated with the Packer family.
With David Gonski, Williams was the co-executor of the estate of the late Kerry Packer. The son and male heir of James Packer, Jackson Lloyd Packer, was given his middle name out of respect to Williams.
Williams' family controlled business is called Hudson Conway, that has investments in a wide range of properties across Melbourne, now managed by his son, Nick.
