About Me

Miriam Adelson is the widow of Sheldon Adelson, the founder and former chairman and CEO of casino company Las Vegas Sands, who died at age 87 in 2021. She and her family now own more than half of the New York Stock Exchange-listed gambling empire, which has casinos in Singapore and Macao. In 2022, Las Vegas Sands sold its assets on the Vegas Strip, the Venetian Resort and the Sands Expo and Convention Center, to Apollo Global and Vici Properties for $6.25 billion. Adelson bought a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks NBA team from billionaire Mark Cuban in 2023. Long known as a GOP megadonor, both alongside her late husband and after his death, Adelson is a top backer of Donald Trump. Born in Israel, Adelson became a medical doctor focusing on addiction.
