He was 87.<\/p>\n<p>His casino and resort destination Las Vegas Sands announced the news, confirming that Adelson died Monday night from &quot;complications related to treatment for non-Hodgkin&apos;s Lymphoma.&quot; There will be a funeral held in Israel, with a Las Vegas memorial service at a later date. According to <em>Forbes<\/em>, he was worth $35 billion.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;He will be missed by people from all parts of the world who were touched by his generosity, kindness, intellect and wonderful sense of humor,&quot; the Sands staff said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Adelson used his large fortune amassed over a career of expanding his gambling businesses around the world to fund Republican and right-wing initiatives, including being a major financial supporter of President Donald Trump&apos;s 2016 campaign. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&apos;ve spent time talking to Donald Trump. Do I agree with him on every issue? No. But it&apos;s unlikely that any American agrees with his or her preferred candidate on every issue,&quot; Adelson wrote in a May 2016 <em>Washington Post<\/em> op-ed endorsing Trump. &quot;&#8230; He is a candidate with actual CEO experience, shaped and molded by the commitment and risk of his own money rather than the public&apos;s.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/imagesvc.meredithcorp.io\/v3\/mm\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.onecms.io%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F20%2F2021%2F01%2F12%2Fsheldon-adelson-3-2000.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Never miss a story &#x2014; sign up for <\/em><\/strong><strong>PEOPLE<em>&apos;s free daily newsletter<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&quot;Despite being the grandson of a Welsh coal miner and the son of a Boston cab driver,&quot; he wrote at the time, &quot;I&apos;ve had the remarkable experience of being part of almost 50 different businesses in my more than 70-year business career.

Prior to that, he gave the 2016 Trump campaign $25 million, the outlet reported. <\/p>\n<p>Adelson&apos;s wife Miriam was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018, the same year the couple gave some $123 million to Republican PACS and campaigns, according to <em>Forbes<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Adelson went from selling and delivering newspapers as a kid to owning major media outlets, including the <em>Israel Hayom<\/em> newspaper in Israel and the <em>Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.
