Sands of Las Vegas Chairperson Sheldon Adelson has just added $14.4 billion to his net worth.  He was already among America’s richest billionaires.

He’s now the richest casino billionaire according to Forbes.

Macau’s boom has helped the bottom line and fortune of the chairman of Las Vegas Sands through a successful Venetian Macau in the former Portuguese colony and  75%  jump in the Hong Kong-traded shares of his Macau operation, Sands China. The stock price of his flagship Las Vegas Sands is up by more than half in the past year. 

Adelson is pumping a large amount of that money into efforts to stop legalized online gambling in the United States.
