Newcomer Miriam Adelson tops list of Israel’s richest
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDr. Miriam Adelson, the wife of American casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, is Israel’s wealthiest person for 2019, according to a biannual list.
The Haaretz daily newspaper’s Israel’s rich list published today noted that Israel has 128 billionaires, after having only eight in 2003.
Miriam Adelson, 73, is new to the list and jumped right to the top spot, “thanks to a recent transfer of assets from her husband,” according to Haaretz.
Adelson’s personal wealth is placed at $22 billion, most of it in shares in the Las Vegas Sands Corp. given to her last year by her husband, according to the report. Adelson also controls the free distribution newspaper Israel Hayom as its publisher.
