Casino billionaire; $106M Trump donor who sought West Bank annexation
Casino billionaire · Person
Miriam Adelson, widow of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, is majority owner of Las Vegas Sands and, since 2023, of the Dallas Mavericks. Forbes puts her family's net worth at $31.4B (27 Sep 2026); a 2026 Schedule 13D filing records her personal holding at 52.7% of Sands. She was the third-largest donor to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, at $106M, according to Wikipedia's tally, and Trump awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018. She publishes Israel Hayom, Israel's most widely read newspaper. During the 2024 campaign she sought Trump's support for Israel's annexation of the occupied West Bank, and she funds US groups that raise money for the Israeli military. Then came the return on investment: weeks after Trump took office, his administration used an emergency declaration to bypass Congress and approve $2.04B in bomb bodies and penetrators for Israel in February 2025.
