According to a statement from his company Las Vegas Sands, the said complications were related to treatment for non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Adelson's concept was so popular and financially successful that he became one of the world's wealthiest people. "He was an American patriot and a strong supporter of Israel".

A combative self-made man raised in a poor Jewish immigrant family in Boston, Adelson established hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, Macau and Singapore.

The chairman and CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation brought singing gondoliers to the Las Vegas Strip and foresaw correctly that Asia would be an even bigger market.

Sheldon was the love of my life.

Adelson rose to become one of the richest men on the planet thanks to his sprawling chain of casinos, and as of Tuesday, Forbes estimated his net worth at $35 billion. He was my partner in romance, philanthropy, political activism and enterprise.

Adelson had been on leave from his company after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2019.

"To me - as to his children, grandchildren, and his legions of friends and admirers, employees and colleagues - he is utterly irreplaceable".

Miriam Adelson and the Las Vegas Sands Corp. both released statements confirming Adelson's death. Plans for a memorial in Las Vegas, where he ran the Venetian and Palazzo casinos, will be held at a later date.

In the United States, Adelson backed pro-Israel Republicans including US President Donald Trump.

Adelson was a longtime donor to the Republican Party, giving more than $430 million to conservatives during the 2020 campaign.

He also owns the largest circulating newspaper in the Nevada, the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The deadly assault on Congress came after Trump addressed a crowd of his supporters in Washington and urged them to march to the Capitol to protest the certification of Biden's victory in the November 3 presidential election.
