SHELDON & MIRIAM ADELSON, CONSERVATIVE
$38.8 MILLION
Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam want Obama out of office for what they say are his anti-Israel policies. After backing Newt Gingrich’s failed candidacy, the Adelsons, whose Las Vegas Sands empire is under multiple federal investigations for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, threw their support to Romney. Adelson was the first fundraising stop for Rep. Paul Ryan after being named to the ticket.
