Major GOP donor. Unclear what his beneficiaries will do going forward.

Trump's #1 donor. Nobody sent more money to Trump's reelection campaign than Adelson.

Much like his buddy Donald, Adelson had scandals and lawsuits swirling around him for decades and alleged mob ties.

He will not be missed.

Look at all these leftists, stomping on a man's yet-to-be filled grave. Disgusting.

RIP, Sheldon, and sympathies to Miriam and family.

Yeah. Built a worldwide casino empire and what's "important"? He supported Donald Trump.

I disagree. Adelson on was quite important. I vehemently disagreed with his politics, but his impact on the Las Vegas and Macao economies, and the gambling world in general, is hard to overstate.

What do you expect? Adelson was living proof that capitalism works. You can't expect the left to celebrate someone whose very existence proved the socialist/marxist philosophy is flawed.

Decent people don't jump onto an announcement of a man's death with put-down comments. As far as what is important, he and his wife were huge humanitarians. Bet you didn't know that he funded a major rehab clinic for drug addicts, and led by his physician wife, to help druggies rebuild their life. As just one example.

RIP, Sheldon, and thank you for all that you've done.
