Adelson, the son of a taxi driver, grew up in Dorchester, Massachusetts, and from the age of 12 he began selling newspapers.


His Forbes profile says that for many years after leaving City College of New York, he acquired a fortune by manipulating vending machines, selling newspaper advertisements, helping small businesses enter the stock market and build apartments. In the Great Depression, he lost almost all of his property but managed to collect most of it in the years to come.


He now runs Las Vegas Sands, the largest casino in the world, and is considered the most important US donor, according to Forbes.


In fact, no one else in history has succeeded in becoming so wealthy-and as fast as-Sheldon Adelson. In December of 2004, the company of Las Vegas Sands Corp. was introduced to the stock market and in the next two years its capitalization was launched at 17,5 billion dollars! In other words, it gained almost 1 a million dollars an hour, 24 hours a day, including weekends and celebrations!

  • PANATHA PANATHA:
    Fenerbahce wanted to postpone the April 7 derby with Galatasaray for the Turkish Super Cup at the mercy of...Olympiakos, but its specific request was not accepted by the country's football federation.
  • PANATHA PANATHA:
    The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) informed both clubs that
    this has to do with there being no alternative date due to the teams' busy schedule.
  • Ertzan Ertzan:
    I was going to write it in the morning but it didn't come from the mobile phone. The non-religious, as was normal, said that they would not accept the postponement of the match. Our team applied for a postponement and from what I read, they said that the match should be held at the end of the championship, but the Federation, which has poured itself on it and still has to make the decision on the "penalties", did not accept it.
  • Ertzan Ertzan:
    Fenerbahce is the team that collected the most points in Europe but they don't see it that way that's okay but god is great
  • PANATHA PANATHA:

  • Ertzan Ertzan:
    A few days before the Fenerbahce meeting, the meeting that Hugh Dallas had with the referees and the talks about the Galatasara-Antalyaspor match came to the fore, where the VAR referee admits that he made a mistake in the penalty that the Galatasaray player took, where in fact he said that the player "dive" in the small contact he had that was not for a penalty. Our President also spoke about this phase where he said what was happening and the Federation found him a liar, nice things
