From Wikipedia.

She and her husband Sheldon Adelson, to whom she was married from 1991 until his death in 2021, became philanthropists through the Adelson Foundation, giving hundreds of millions of dollars to Jewish and Israel causes. Miriam Adelson is one of the largest supporters of Donald Trump, who awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018. Adelson has been a major donor to Trump’s presidential campaigns, as well as his 2017 presidential inauguration and his legal defense fund against the Mueller investigation into Russian interference.

After her husband’s death, Miriam became the owner of the Las Vegas Sands. She is the current publisher of the newspaper Israel Hayom and, with her family, owns the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Adelson is also the majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team with her son-in-law Patrick Dumont. As of August 2024, she is estimated to be the richest Israeli in the world and the fifth richest woman in America, with a net worth of US$30 billion.[2][3][4][5]

It’s hard to imagine having that much disposable income.

Wow. That’s a lot of money. I can’t imagine being able to give away millions, repeatedly.

Thank you Miriam. It’s a shame that fighting fraud should cost so much!

Don’t people go to jail for giving that much? Denish D’sousa did, for only a few thousand.

Absolutely staggering wealth. Wonderous that she’s using it for good. Too much wealth on the other side going to destroy this country. Best wishes for family that always loves her and helps her have a happy life.

I think a PAC is different from campaign itself. Maybe different rules.

Did she drop down to the 6th richest woman after this? Would she like to adopt me?

Disposable income: WTF is that? I vaguely recall having that when I was a bachelor, some 47 years ago. Marriage and kids took care of that.

She is legally giving to a super PAC, which has no contribution limits. D'Souza was caught setting up fake straw donations to give (illegally) directly to a campaign, basically a form of money laundering.

It goes to a PAC. Legally different.

We need to pull this out on the threads with the idiots screaming about “stupid Jews”.
