Sheldon Adelson, the multibillionaire casino mogul and Republican Party megadonor, has died at age 87.
Adelson died from complications related to treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, according to a statement Tuesday from Las Vegas Sands, his casino and resort company.
Adelson, whose net worth was estimated by Forbes to be $33 billion, had been among the most-watched donors supporting President Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection effort. He was also a stalwart supporter of Israel, maintaining a close friendship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu until recently.
His funeral will be held in Israel, and a memorial service in Las Vegas is planned for a later date.
“It is with unbearable pain that I announce the death of my husband, Sheldon G. Adelson, of complications from a long illness,” Miriam Adelson, 75, said in a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which is owned by the Adelsons.
“To me - as to his children, grandchildren, and his legions of friends and admirers, employees and colleagues - he is utterly irreplaceable.”
Adelson, whose name is pronounced add’-el-son, gave tens of millions of dollars to support Republican presidential hopefuls in 2012, including to Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.
Trump, who had reportedly clashed with Adelson over his reelection campaign, said Tuesday afternoon that the casino magnate “lived the true American dream.”
“His ingenuity, genius, and creativity earned him immense wealth, but his character and philanthropic generosity his great name,” Trump said in the statement, which also offered condolences from him and first lady Melania Trump.
“Sheldon was true to his family, his country, and all those that knew him. The world has lost a great man. He will be missed.”
Former President George W. Bush, a recipient of Adelson donations, called the casino mogul “an American patriot.”
“Sheldon was a generous benefactor of charitable causes, especially medical research and Jewish heritage education. He will be missed by many - none more than his beloved family,” Bush said.
Adelson was raised in Boston. The son of a taxi driver and a knitting shop owner, he made his first foray into business at age 12 selling newspapers on street corners.
Years later, he became an owner of newspapers: the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the only major newspaper to endorse Trump’s 2016 presidential bid, and Israel Hayom.
After serving in the Korean War, Adelson worked as a court stenographer among other jobs, and invested in numerous companies before eventually organizing his first trade show in 1979.
Starting in the late 1980s, Adelson moved into the casino business, purchasing the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for $128 million. The purchase would launch Las Vegas Sands as a global resort brand, boasting properties in the U.S. and Asia.
Adelson leveled the Sands building in 1996, and in its place built the $1.5 billion Venetian, which opened in 1999. Las Vegas Sands’ most recent construction is the Parisian Macao, a luxury hotel fitted with a half-scale copy of the Eiffel Tower, located in Macao, China.

The world is a little better off today. A successful man who forgot where he came from.
Just like one of the Koch brothers and now the other said he wishes they used their money differently..
@@Swnsasy the irony when top 5 richers people on the earth aren't even republican donor lmao🤣🤣
It horrible lllol. I just posted on a Vegas vlogger vid. YEAH R.I.P. but he was involved in politics of casinos...Unnions etc. Everyone is talking great about him (I'm Republican) but there was other sides.
@@Saiputera "Collectively, the 25 ultra high net worth individuals and couples on the list totaled a whopping $573,892,284 in political donations are to the Republican party." - Took me all of 60 seconds to look that up.. It's from Fox Business
you mean a lucky man trying to preserve the dark money luck and corruption that he got in a specific time period that this world needed to be rid of But to destroy this world for his own personal egotistical short turm self preservation is willing to harm us all to maximise exploitation
Think of all the good things he could have done with his wealth, yet he chose to fight Cannabis legalization and to support a con man's dreams of being a dictator. What a waste.
He chose to live off other people's misfortune to begin with
He used his money and power to take away the rights of others. The world is now a better place.
All that money cannot bail himself from eternal damnation!
@@buzifalus yes one person willing to take advantage / exploit others for own personal self benefit
(short term) for fragile ultimate power as all they know in there incompetance of gettign advantage ahead of others / by getting over others whilst having there incompetance and fear that causese them to adopt thise psychopathic charactoriustcs misrepresented as competnace because they get advantage through corrupt structures whilst those corrupt structures in there naiv irresponsibility thoughtless oblivious inexceptional lack of oppression and in lack of oppression without self enisiative to expand their minds and become maximally informed to understand every facet and to understnad that it is corrupt and not go out into th world and further impose misinterpertations and live by what is literally holding them down taht they are blindly in acceptance subserviancy to under a series of uncontextualised illusions

The devil calls another demon home.
@Soia Isreal watch what they do..not what they say. I’m sure he will have an interesting time in the after life.
@Soia Isreal it’s between him and God now, charity doesn’t protect you from the wrongs you do in life.
Sheldon Adelson's death is another confirmation of the adage that only the good die young.
The US would have been a radically better place if Sheldon money never existed.
Now this is great news 🥳
@Soia Isreal get a life!
If there is any justice he should now be answering one question....."Regular or Extra Crispy?"
Isn't it ironic that dump's top donor in 2016 keels over when it finally becomes clear he bet on the wrong horse....
Good riddans.
Riddance (most browsers have spell check built into them nowadays btw....)
@@HmmmYeahRiiiiiight second language perhaps
No one, jew, christian, muslim, Buddhist or otherwise should be love for supporting genocide. Don't forget your history my friend.
And reporter forgot to say ... and built places where people leave their hard earned money!
"Give him an enema, and you can bury him in a matchbox."
I've always wanted to use that particular Christopher Hitchens quote. . .
in trump's words... "it is what it is"
Best news I heard all week.
2021 just got better !!!
Oh God...now life has no meaning. I gotta find a bathroom over this one.
good riddance to bad rubbish.
Sheldon Adelson had the greatest work ethic
Another mafioso bites the dust.
30 seconds for RUclips to erase my comments. I take that as a badge of honor.
Great news!
@Soia Isreal OK Karen
@Soia Isreal OK Karen
It's to bad he couldn't take Trump with him.
Adelson was evil incarnate.
Anti-semitic 🤦
@Nils Holgersson yes it is! Read the ADL
Sorry folks, no amount of money can stop the inevitable.
Clap along if u feel like happiness is the truth. Clap along if u feel like that's what u want to do.
Congratulations humanity! One less devil to deal with! Celebrate this day!
Just curious why people hate him, I’ve never heard of him, so I don’t know if their was a scandal behind him.
@@t2k777 I don’t have to care about every billionaire, all I know about him is he owns Las Vegas Sands and donates to Trump. I was just asking because I wanted to know why he is so hated.
He is hated because of promoting & being instrumental in Palestinian genocide, Like some Jewish commenters on this thread. These kinds give all jews a bad name which is horrible because most jews are wonderful human beings, full stop. I know many many of them personally.
@@joshuajoe1419 he is much more evil than either of those two things and is fueling things of much greator evil and impact to humanity for short turm self preservation of his luck
Not covid?! Hmmmmm.......
Don't you know, every death now is called a covid death.
Thanks for God..... alhamdulilla
And Americans get $600....
Sheldon bad man
The mummy bit the dust. He will be lost forever in the underworld.
A man without a country.
You can do any business but don't start a casino. Will get retribution for swallowing hard earned money. That's why he was wheelchair bound for 20 years before passing. Anyway, some interesting facts:
He passed away on 01/11/21.
1
11
21.
These 3 numbers are at the same position (5th) in anti-clockwise consecutive quarters on the roulette wheel if you remove 0 or 00. There are 36 non zero numbers in 4 quarters.
26 to 22
9 to 5 (1 is in 5th position)
10 to 6 (11 is in 5th position)
34 to 32 (21 is in 5th position)
😆😆😁😄
He was really a casino man! J don't have anything bad to say about him. The Almighty has punished him enough. I think his face shows the effects of the blood cancer very clearly.
Oddly enough, he was a Democrat most of his life until the mid-90's when he decided to "break the back of the union" in Vegas (hotel workers related) and consequently became a Republican.
Favor.
God bless the Adelson Family, Amen
David James West, a Christian man
Bad man
As someone not from the US can someone explain the overwhelming hate for this man or is it simply because he was associated with Trump?
Hate to casino owner
He funded billions of dollars towards campaigns of politicians who are keeping America back.
He's dead. Waaaaaaaa
Yes he is but we all needs to move on and make our selves a better people in the society by investing our own little income into a business that can boost our portfolios
Yes exactly what I want to do right now cos things are getting worst by the day,I looking up to investing into crypto
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuation in price
@@lindapatric216 yes but that won't bother you if you trade with an expert like Larry Brin
@@joegodwin9658 I heard his strategies are really good
Funny and sad to see people cursing him to hell when Adelson was a staunch Jew who supported Israel throughout his entire life.
Investing in these economic crisis will be one the best thing to do
Now he need answer god how and where he spend the money given to him
2021 starts in a good way for the world.
So many mobsters!
You're right I think Gold and crypto are the best to invest right now
Aw, that's a shame....Trump lost another buddy. 'Dun dun dun, another one bites the dust!'
Despite the economic crisis, this is still a good time to invest in Gold and crypto
🙌
Those who preach about Hell. are those who are going to Hell.
what a great man he was. R.I.P Mr. Adelson.
This guy was one of Trump's biggest donors.
R.I..H
He ruined so many lives with gambling and buying dodgy politician.
All that money why not donate it and leave your fam 5 billion
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuation in price
I bet he wouldn't have killed himself if orange man had won
why?
To Hell.
Nos condoléances les plus attristées à la famille, aux amis et connaissances pour cette rude épreuve!
Que l' âme de Mr S. Adelson accède à la joie et paix éternelle par Notre SEIGNEUR JESUS-CHRIST!
I had a pleasure knowing him and he is good man..
And of coarse you are a russian.
👿👿👿👿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
His legacy show that he was Evil person
الله لا يرحمو
bye girl
🥳
It is funny how when an evil guy dies , everyone starts to believe in hell 🤣🤣 even atheists and confused people 🤣🤣😂😂
@Ivan Schlotzky that’s a beautiful irony
The world has lost a shining light! Thank G-d for the life of this man.
Don’t worry, you will be with him in hell one day so you can enjoy his company.
I made a $100 donation to the DNC in Sheldon's name...
Meh.
Gold's are good but crypto is better ✅✅
Best Day of my Life :)) yeaaaaaaaaaay

The skin tag called Adelson will burn in Hell. Fatboy Trump not far behind. Maybe they and Ailes start a band.

@john may yes and for the self preservation of the sliver nothing amount of luck he had in his lifetime But that he got in an era of technological advancment which since most weren't ready / prepared for this used it to manipulate them and there primal instincts to allow this evil to survive
