WASHINGTON: Billionaire Casino Magnet and Republican donor Sheldon Edelson have died, according to a statement from the Las Vegas Sands Company on Tuesday.
“Our founder and visionary leader, Sheldon G. Edelson, died last night at the age of 87 from complications related to the treatment of non-Hudkin’s lymphoma,” the statement said. Adelson, a supporter of outgoing US President Donald Trump as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has become one of the richest men on the planet thanks to the decoration of his casinos. Forbes estimated his total value at تک 35 billion as of Tuesday, a fortune he often weighed in on US politics.
