Sheldon Adelson \u2014 the billionaire casino magnate and political megadonor who funneled millions of dollars to Republicans \u2014 is dead. He was 87.<\/p>\n

Adelson died Monday night from complications related to treatment he was receiving for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, according to Las Vegas Sands, the casino giant he led as chairman and CEO.<\/p>\n

Adelson had taken medical leave from the company on Thursday to resume treatment for the disease. He first announced his diagnosis in 2019.<\/p>\n
