Miriam Adelson tops gaming industry in Forbes 2022 Billionaires Rich List, Lui Che Woo Asia’s highest

Dr Miriam Adelson, the wife of Las Vegas Sands founder Sheldon Adelson who passed away in 2021, is the highest ranked gambling industry tycoon on the Forbes 2022 Billionaires Rich List.

Adelson, who holds a controlling 53.7% stake in LVS, came in at number 50 on the 2022 list with a fortune of US$27.5 billion. She had previously ranked at number 36 in 2021, when she boasted a personal fortune of US$38.2 billion.

Despite falling 14 places over the past 12 months as the global gaming giant’s Asian integrated resort empire continues to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 76-year-old still ranks more than 100 places higher than her nearest industry competitor, Galaxy Entertainment Group’s Lui Che Woo, at number 166.
