Sheldon Adelson Pumping Another $10 Million Into Newt Gingrich Campaign
CBS News has learned that billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson is pumping yet another $10 million into GOP Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich’s faltering campaign.
Following an initial injection of $11 million into the super PAC backing Gingrich, “Winning our Future”, Adelson and his family are expected to have donated a sum total of $21 million by month’s end. Another source close to Adelson suggested to CBS News the casino billionaire may add yet another $4 million.
This is chump change to Adelson, who the Huffington Post calculated as making $3.3 million an hour. So essentially he’d be donating a day’s paycheck to the Gingrich campaign.
