Miriam and Sheldon Adelson attend a cornerstone-laying ceremony for the Health and Medical Sciences School building, named after them, at Ariel University (Photo: AMIR COHEN/REUTERS) Casino Billionaire Sheldon Adelson, the chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands and a major donor to Republican politicians, died late Monday following complications related to his cancer treatment, his company said. He was 87. Adelson took a leave of absence from Sands last week to resume treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which his aides first disclosed in late February 2019. He rose from a hardscrabble childhood in Boston to become one of the world's richest men as founder and CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) He was Sands' first employee, which has since grown to 50,000 employees. "His impact on the industry will be everlasting," the company said. Sands' shares opened slightly higher Tuesday. Adelson's funeral will be held in Israel, the birthplace of his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson. Plans for a memorial in Las Vegas, where he ran the Venetian and Palazzo casinos, will be held at a later date. Read the entire story on CNN - Sheldon Adelson Dead At 87 Read the full article

How Some Rich Americans Are Getting Stimulus ‘Checks’ Averaging $1.7 Million

Mega mansion of a wealthy family in the U.S. - Bing While wealthy Americans are not eligible for the comparatively measly $1,200 stimulus checks that are now being disbursed to many Americans, they are on pace to do even better. 43,000 taxpayers, who earn more than $1 million annually, are each set to receive a $1.7 million windfall, on average, thanks to a provision buried in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. You may or may not be surprised that some of the language conveniently inserted into the $2.2 trillion-dollar Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) skews heavily in favor of the wealthy. The provision doling out literally millions of dollars is aimed at a limitation that was created in 2017 when Republicans overhauled the tax code.

Quatril Mansion - An Award winning impeccably restored Ogden Codman masterpiece.

Recently featured in Yankee Magazine and New England Home Magazine, Snug Harbor,” is one of the most iconic and beautiful mansions in Newport. Newport is a seaside city on Aquidneck Island in Newport County, Rhode Island, located approximately 33 miles southeast of Providence, Rhode Island. It is known as a New England summer resort and is famous for its historic mansions and its rich sailing history. It was the location of the first U.S. Open tournaments in both tennis and golf, as well as every challenge to the America's Cup between 1930 and 1983. It was a major 18th-century port city and also contains a high number of buildings from the Colonial era. Newport was a major center of the slave trade in colonial and early America, active in the "triangle trade" in which slave-produced sugar and molasses from the Caribbean were carried to Rhode Island and distilled into rum, which was then carried to West Africa and exchanged for captives. In 1764, Rhode Island had about 30 rum distilleries, 22 in Newport alone. The Common Burial Ground on Farewell Street was where most of the slaves were buried. Newport was the scene of much activity during the American Revolution. William Ellery came from Newport, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, wealthy southern planters seeking to escape the heat began to build summer cottages on Bellevue Avenue, such as Kingscote (1839). Around the middle of the century, wealthy Yankees, such as the Wetmore family, also began constructing larger mansions, such as Chateau-sur-Mer (1852) nearby. Most of these early families made a substantial part of their fortunes in the Old China Trade. By the turn of the 20th century, many of the nation's wealthiest families were summering in Newport, including the Vanderbilts, Astors, and the Widener family, who constructed the largest "cottages", such as The Breakers (1895) and Miramar. They resided for a brief summer social season in grand, gilded mansions with elaborate receiving rooms, dining rooms, music rooms, and ballrooms—but with few bedrooms, since the guests were expected to have "cottages" of their own. John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier were married in St. Mary's Church in Newport on September 12, 1953. Presidents Kennedy and Eisenhower both made Newport the sites of their "Summer White Houses" during their years in office. Eisenhower stayed at Quarters A at the Naval War College and at what became known as the Eisenhower House, while Kennedy used Hammersmith Farm next door.

Millionaires Could Be Happier Than The Average Person - See The Reason Why

Millionaires spend their leisure time differently than the typical person.Daniel Pockett/Getty Images Millionaires are a happier bunch than most, but it's not necessarily because they have more money. It's because they treat their leisure time differently than the average person, reported Dawn Teh for Forge, a Medium publication. Both millionaires and the average person allocate the same amount of their time for leisure (around 46% of their time), she wrote, citing a new study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. The study surveyed over 800 millionaires in the Netherlands and a nationally representative sample of around 1,200 people. Read the entire story 'Why Millionaires Are Happier Than Most'

The Great American Tax Haven: Why the super-rich love South Dakota

South Dakota - An At Home American Tax Haven For The Rich - (Photo: Bing Maps) A MUST READ - South Dakota: Known for being the home of Mount Rushmore – and not much else. But thanks to its relish for deregulation, the state is fast becoming the most profitable place for the mega-wealthy to park their billions. According to an official in a traditional tax haven, who has watched as wealth has fled that country’s coffers for the US, the protections offered by states such as South Dakota are undermining global attempts to control tax dodging, kleptocracy and money-laundering. “One of the core issues in fighting a guerrilla war is that if the guerrillas have a safe harbour, you can’t win,” the official told me. “Well, the US is giving financial criminals a safe harbour, and a really effective safe harbour – far more effective than anything they ever had in Jersey or the Bahamas or wherever.” Late last year, as the Chinese government prepared to enact tough new tax rules, the billionaire Sun Hongbin quietly transferred $4.5 billion worth of shares in his Chinese real estate firm to a company on a street corner in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, one of the least populated and least known states in the US. Super-rich people choose between jurisdictions in the same way that middle-class people choose between ISAs: they want the best security, the best income and the lowest costs. That is why so many super-rich people are choosing South Dakota, which has created the most potent force-field money can buy – a South Dakotan trust. If an ordinary person puts money in the bank, the government taxes what little interest it earns. Even if that money is protected from taxes by an ISA, you can still lose it through divorce or legal proceedings. A South Dakotan trust changes all that: it protects assets from claims from ex-spouses, disgruntled business partners, creditors, litigious clients and pretty much anyone else. It won’t protect you from criminal prosecution, but it does prevent information on your assets from leaking out in a way that might spark interest from the police. And it shields your wealth from the government, since South Dakota has no income tax, no inheritance tax and no capital gains tax. A decade ago, South Dakotan trust companies held $57.3bn in assets. By the end of 2020, that total will have risen to $355.2bn. Those hundreds of billions of dollars are being regulated by a state with a population smaller than Norfolk, a part-time legislature heavily lobbied by trust lawyers, and an administration committed to welcoming as much of the world’s money as it can. US politicians like to boast that their country is the best place in the world to get rich, but South Dakota has become something else: the best place in the world to stay rich. This is an excellent article, please read 'A Tax Haven: South Dakota Loved By The Rich' Read the full article

Billionaire Jorge Vergara, owner of Mexico’s Chivas soccer team, dies at 64

Jorge Vergara waves to fans at a news conference in Carson in 2004. (Associated Press ) Jorge Vergara, the mercurial owner of Mexican soccer club Chivas of Guadalajara and former owner of failed MLS club Chivas USA, died Friday following a heart attack. He was 64. Vergara suffered cardiac failure while in New York City, his son Amaury said in a statement. A flamboyant, self-made billionaire who loved motorcycles and soccer, Vergara took over a failing franchise in 2002 and guided it to the championship of Mexico’s Apertura season in 2006, along the way making Chivas, alongside Mexico City’s Club America, one of the country’s most popular teams. But Vergara’s impatience also led him to change coaches 28 times in 17 years, and that, combined with a volatile personality and love of the spotlight, earned comparisons to U.S. owners such as Jerry Jones and George Steinbrenner. He was also the founder of the multi-level marketing health products company Grupo Omnilife and Omnilife USA. Vergara was the director of Omnilife de Mexico from 1991 to his death. Not without controversies, Jorge Vergara once battle with his then-wife over children and company ownership in their divorce Read the entire story at 'Billionaire Jorge Vergara, owner of Mexico’s Chivas soccer team, dies at 64' Read the full article

Bill Gates Once Again Takes Over 'Richest Person In The World' Title

The Top 20 Richest People in the World - Week of November 10-16, 2019 By Mark Taylor - Billionaire World News "Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates has once again taken over the title 'Richest Person In the World', or World's Richest Person, or in his case, 'Richest Man in the World', overtaking Amazon founder Jeff Bezos for the well known title. As of Saturday, November 16, 2019, the Bloomberg Billionaire Index reported that Gates' total net worth comes in at $110 billion, his highest net worth yet. His position on the list definitely has been helped by the fact that Microsoft shares are up almost an unheard of 48% this year. Gates had taken over the title briefly last month after Bezos company Amazon reported earnings had dropped almost 28 percent for the third quarter of the year. That along with the fact that his net worth took a hit after his divorce from McKenzie earlier this year. The divorce was finalized with Mackenzie Bezos receiving 25 percent of Jeff Bezos' stake in Amazon and launching her to one of the company's biggest shareholders, along with the spot of #24 on the Bloomberg Billionaire Index with $35 billion. Mackenzie has publicly told of her plans to donate a sizable chunk of her money to charities like the Giving Pledge, that states the person will give the majority of their wealth to charity (philanthropic causes). And to show her intent after much public interest, she wrote in a letter, "I have a disproportionate amount of money to share. My approach to philanthropy will continue to be thoughtful. It will take time and effort and care. But I won’t wait. And I will keep at it until the safe is empty." As Billionaire World News has said before, "She is the kind of person we like to see as a billionaire. Her values seem to be in the right place." Bezos himself, is ranked at #2 this week with a current net worth of $109 billion.

Microsoft billionaire, Bill Gates (left), is once again 'The Richest Person in the World' topping Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, (right) for the top-of-the-list spot. Bill Gates, who in 2010 created the Giving Pledge with fellow billionaire Warren Buffett, has given $38.5 billion to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation since 1994, and when asked about the 'billionaire tax' proposed by several presidential candidates, he revealed he has paid more than $10 billion in taxes thus far and would be 'just fine' with a higher tax percentage. Situated in 3rd place on the index is France's Bernard Arnault, who's net worth continues to grow and sits at $103 billion this week. Arnault is the chairman and chief executive of LVMH. LVMH, is the world's largest luxury-goods company, with subsidiaries Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Sephora, and Fendi to name a few. Next at #4 on this weeks billionaires list is onetime former #2 position holder, Warren Buffett, the great-spirited powerhouse investor behind Berkshire Hathaway, and currently worth $86.6 billion. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate holding company behind many nationally known brands. Rounding out the top 5 at #5 is Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg, who has a current net worth of $74.5 billion, could see his worth go up or down at the drop of a hat as his social media empire continues to go through constant changes, again, both up and down. And finally a side note to ALL billionaires. No one person needs more than a billion dollars. Instead of trying to make more money and using up our few natural resources left, let's please take care of and find solutions for our current problems before we think of new things with new problems. The problems we have created to the natural world need to be fixed or helped NOW, if they aren't, all other problems are meaningless, as the world will be too far gone to fix, and life will cease to exist as we know it.

Billionaire Deaths - Arizona Cardinals Owner Bill Bidwill Dies at 88

Bill Bidwill is pictured with son Michael Bidwill, the Cardinals team president, on the sidelines prior to the 2012 NFL season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. (AP Photo/Paul Connors, File) William V. Bidwill, who owned the NFL's Cardinals since 1972 has died, the club announced Wednesday. He was 88. “Our dad passed away today the same way he lived his life: peacefully, with grace, dignity and surrounded by family and loved ones,” Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said in a statement. "We are overwhelmed by the support our family has received, not only now but throughout the latest chapter of his life. We are especially grateful to the nurses, doctors and other caregivers whose endless kindness and compassion in recent years have made our dad’s life so meaningful." A cause of death was not immediately known. Bidwill, who had long ago ceded day-to-day operation of the franchise to Michael, is survived by his five children, 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. His wife, Nancy, died in 2016 at age 84. The bowtie-wearing Bidwill headed a family operation that dated to 1932, when his father Charles purchased the Chicago Cardinals, reportedly for $50,000. The younger Bidwill was a ballboy for the 1947 team that won the franchise's lone NFL championship. He moved them to Arizona from St. Louis in 1988.

Billionaires Lynda and Stewart Resnick Donate $750-million Gift to Caltech for Climate Research.

Lynda Resnick, Caltech President Thomas F. Rosenbaum, middle, and Stewart Resnick in the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis surface science lab at Caltech. (Photo: Caltech) It did not escape Stewart Resnick’s attention that, after some unusual winter weather in 2015, his pistachio crop took a 70% hit. He couldn’t miss it when, for several years, his heat-blasted oranges came in smaller and less prodigiously than in the past. California’s persistent drought could not be ignored, either, by the man reputed to be the biggest farmer in America. Those events influenced the Resnicks’ decision, announced Thursday, to give $750 million to Caltech for research into climate change and sustainability. And there was another inspiration. “My grandkids … they would yell at me all the time, ‘How can you help with this?
