Patrick Dumont (born circa 1974-1975) is an American business executive and key advisor to the Adelson family. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and resides in Las Vegas with his family. He serves as the President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Las Vegas Sands Corporation (LVS), the flagship company of the Adelson family portfolio and a major global casino and resort operator, and is set to become Chairman and CEO in March 2026, succeeding Robert Goldstein. He has been a director of the company since 2015 and joined LVS in June 2010 following his 2009 marriage to Sivan Adelson (also known as Sivan Ochshorn prior to marriage), the second daughter of Miriam Adelson from her first marriage and the late casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, making him their son-in-law. This marriage integrated him into one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the gaming and hospitality industry, where he leverages his legal and financial expertise to manage the family's extensive business and philanthropic portfolio. Dumont advanced through roles including Vice President of Corporate Strategy, Senior Vice President of Finance and Strategy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (starting 2016), and President and COO (January 2021) following Sheldon Adelson's death. Prior to LVS, he began his career with an associate role at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and gained experience in investment banking at Bear Stearns & Co. and Miller Buckfire & Co. Dumont earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and an MBA from Columbia Business School (note: his education is frequently misreported as Harvard). He oversees operations of iconic properties like The Venetian Resort and Marina, as well as international ventures in markets such as Macau and Singapore that generate billions in revenue annually. Under his leadership, the company has navigated challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory scrutiny, and shifts in global tourism, though his tenure has coincided with a reported $7 billion drop in company market capitalization amid criticism as a 'nepo-in-law' hire (per social media commentary, 2023). Dumont has overseen major strategic transactions including the sales of Sands Bethlehem and The Venetian Las Vegas, key financial initiatives, portfolio repositioning, and growth in protected markets, and is leading an $8 billion development project in Singapore. In December 2023, the Adelson-Dumont family purchased a 69% controlling ownership interest in the NBA's Dallas Mavericks from Mark Cuban for approximately $3.5 billion, with Dumont becoming the team's governor and representative to the NBA Board of Governors. Dumont became the subject of intense public scrutiny and criticism in February 2025 when he approved the widely panned trade of franchise superstar Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis; former GM Nico Harrison, who convinced Dumont to authorize the trade, was fired in November 2025 after a disastrous 3-8 start to the 2025-26 season, with Dumont publicly acknowledging the trade as a mistake. Dumont has also been involved in efforts to thaw NBA-China relations, announcing NBA China Games in Macao for October 2025, and the Adelson-Sands organization has spent millions lobbying for casino legalization in Texas, with Dumont publicly expressing interest in building a new Mavericks arena as part of a destination resort complex. Beyond corporate leadership, Dumont maintains a low public profile but is instrumental in the family's broader influence networks, including political donations and advocacy through the Adelson Family Foundation, where he serves as a partner, focusing on causes such as medical research, education, and Jewish community support. The family has been a major Republican donor, and Dumont's role extends to shaping policy on gaming, trade, and Israel-related issues. No major personal controversies or legal issues are publicly associated with him, though the company's operations have faced past allegations of labor violations and anti-union practices.
