The World's Richest Jew

Sheldon G. Adelson, 73, is now the world's richest Jew, worth an estimated $20.5 billion.

Adelson is Chairman of the Board and principal owner of the Las Vegas Sands Corp., the parent company of the Sands, The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and the Venetian Macao Limited in Macao, China. The building of a new Las Vegas-like strip in Macao, which could cost up to $11 billion, has caused LVS stocks, and along with it Adelson's wealth, to skyrocket.

Adelson, born in 1934 to Jewish Ukrainian immigrants, grew up in the poor Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. His father was a taxi driver and his mother ran a knitting store. At a young age, Adelson began selling newspapers on local street corners, and by the age of twelve he owned his first business. Adelson later worked as a mortgage broker, investment adviser and financial consultant.

Throughout his life, Adelson has built over fifty different companies, including the Computer Dealers Exposition (COMDEX), designed to bring computer manufacturers and resellers together. Today, COMDEX is the world's largest computer trade show and operates in over twenty countries.

Adelson has received honorary degrees and other awards and has been a guest speaker at numerous universities including the University of New Haven, Harvard Business School, Columbia Business School, Tel Aviv University, and Babson College.

According to Forbes Magazine, Adelson is the 5th richest man in the world, the 3rd richest man in America, and the richest Jew in the world. Adelson's net worth is $20.5 billion. In 2003, his wealth was only 1.4 billion, but in 2004 his fortune increased by 750% when his company went public. Forbes estimates that over the past two years, Adelson's fortune has been growing by $1 million every hour.

Adelson's wife, Miriam, is a physician who specializes in treating chemical dependencies. She was born in Tel Aviv and grew up in Haifa. Dr. Adelson heads both the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Clinics in Tel Aviv and Las Vegas, which have treated thousands of heroin and cocaine drug addicts. The couple plans to open several more clinics in the near future.

Dr. and Mrs. Adelson are supporters of charitable causes in Israel and in Jewish communities abroad. They have been long time donors to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority. The building of the Museum of Holocaust Art was enabled by a generous donation from the Adelson's in memory of Dr. Adelson's parents, and the members of the Zamelson and Farbstein Families who perished in the Holocaust.  Adelson also recently made a $25 million donation to Yad Vashem, the largest private donation ever made to the organization. Adelson is also a member of the board of directors of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.

On January 1, 2007, Sheldon Adelson established the Adelson Family Charitable Foundation, which is expected to dispense upwards of $200 million annually to Jewish and Israeli causes, the largest by far of any existing private foundation with that aim. The Foundation's first gift was a pledge of $25 million a year to birthright israel, an organization that provides free trips to Israel for Jews between the ages of 18 and 26. This will double the capacity of the organization, allowing it to bring 20,000 participants to Israel in the summer of 2007.

2009
After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

The Richest Jews in Congress (yawn)
2009-09-14 11:02am PT  
Excerpt From Blog Post:

Roll Call, one of two Capitol Hill newspapers, came out with its list of the 50 richest members of Congress today, and once again Jewish lawmakers are well represented – but far from dominant.

Three of the top ten moneybags are Jewish. Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) ranks third, with  assets of $112 million; Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) are eighth and ninth on the list.  Sen. John Kerry (D-Calif) came out on top this year,  with Rep. Darrell Issa R-Calif) running a close second.

Wash. Post' Whitewashes an Extremist

by Philip Weiss on April 3, 2008 · 50 comments

When I was a kid, we didn't drink Welch's Grape Juice, didn't eat Welch's grape jelly. Any Welch product. That's because Robert Welch was one of the founders of the John Birch Society, which my family saw as anti-semitic. Probably was for all I know. But that's why we couldn't have Welch's. And I approve. I wonder how my mom knew that. Maybe from the liberal press, such as it was.

Well today George Will writes a whole column about Sheldon Adelson in the Washington Post, third richest man in America, and it is entirely about his business activities. Not a word about his political activity: the biggest backer of birthright, the turn-them-into-Zionists-and-get-them-to-marry-Jews free trips to Israel; a big backer of the Israeli right; and most important, a giant backer of Freedom's Watch, the pro-Iraq-war group started after meetings at the Republican Jewish Coalition.

One of the great failures of American journalism has been its failure to out extremists, including Jews who are undermining the peace process, which I thought was U.S. policy. Adelson is said by Haaretz to be close to Netanyahu. I believe his thinktank in Israel is headed by Sharansky. Shouldn't the Washington Post be reporting on this? Forty years ago my family got the news. Today there is none.

P.S. Larry Zuckerman tells me I'm wrong, that Welch of the John Birch Society manufactured candy not Welch's grape juice. There goes a beautiful analogy! The point holds.

Reportedly the richest jew.

For some reason people actually think the richest people in the world just made all their money during their life time.

It's like the phrase "old wealth" has been long forgotten.

Most of the surnames in the very first issue of Forbes rich list never appeared again.

I would say the richest jew in the world would have the surname of Rothschild.

Quote from: "sirbadman"I would say the richest jew in the world would have the surname of Rothschild.


Wouldn't that be the world's richest satanist? Well I guess it's the same thing.

Apart from the Bauer/Rothschild clan, conveniently missing from any mention:
-George Soros
-Ruppert Murdoch
-Murray Rothstein (Sumner Redstone)
-Bill Gates
-Michael Dell
-Haim Sabin

They probably all have far more wealth than Adelson.
