4. Sheldon Adelson – Net Worth: $28.7 billion

Sheldon Adelson is a very popular philanthropist and business magnate. He is best known for being the CEO of the Las Vegas Sands casino empire. He was born into poverty, so he felt the need to make money ever since he was a kid. He started his first entrepreneurial venture at the age of 12, by selling newspapers across Boston. When he finished high school, Adelson enrolled at the City College of New York. However, he only spent two years there, and joined the army afterwards. But, his knack for business hadn’t stopped there. He was discharged from the army to pursue his interests, eventually starting more than 50 different businesses during his career. He currently has a net worth of $28.7 billion.
