Mr. Adelson is #8 on the Forbes 400, just behind #7, George Soros. Soros is three years older and half a billion richer.
Misleading headline. Adelson engaged in a bit of hyperbole to make a point, as in “I might give Newt a gazillion dollars and I might give him fifty dollars. Whatever I do, it’s legal and it’s nobody’s business but mine.”
In any case, it’s a great profile article, giving more insight into what motivates Adelson, a guy who wants to be the conservative counter-balance to Soros, and for good reasons. Well worth the read. Forbes will be publishing an extended version of the profile piece online tomorrow. Can’t wait!
I do hope Adelson gives more money to Newt’s PAC, and lots of it, and I hope he does it VERY soon. Whether he does or not, I’d never stay anywhere in Vegas other than the Venetian, and I’d make sure to let management know that Adelson is the reason why.
