Key Relationships
Miriam Adelson
acquired
Miriam Adelson has been the majority owner of Las Vegas Sands Corporation since 2021, when she inherited and gained majority voting control upon the death of her husband, Sheldon Adelson. As the primary heir, she solidified her position as executive chairman, and her primary wealth derives from this ownership.

Adelson Family Foundation
shell_company_of
The Adelson Family Foundation and Las Vegas Sands Corp. are twin pillars of the Adelson family's wealth and power. The foundation is funded entirely by the Adelson family's fortune, which derives overwhelmingly from their majority stake in Las Vegas Sands Corp. (Miriam Adelson and the Adelson family trust currently hold over 50% of Sands stock, worth billions). This creates an opaque financial pipeline: profits from Sands' operations in Macau and Singapore, jurisdictions with well-documented vulnerabilities to money laundering and foreign influence, flow to the family, which then funnels tax-deductible dollars through the foundation to influence Israeli and U.S. politics. This structure was thoroughly mapped in investigative reports following the release of the 'Paradise Papers' and SEC filings.
Since 2007
