Macau Billionaire

The southern Chinese casino gambling powerhouse of Macau is getting a French twist. U.S. billionaire Sheldon Adelson is set to throw open the doors Tuesday to the French-themed Parisian Macao, the mogul's fifth property in the former Portuguese colony.

The FBI last year questioned a Macau billionaire charged with participating in a bribery scheme at the United Nations about whether one of his partners was involved with Chinese foreign intelligence, according to court records.

An employee of a Chinese airline, who came onto the radar of US authorities as they probed the activities of a Macau billionaire accused of bribing a UN General Assembly president, is now facing legal troubles of her own.

A billionaire real estate developer from Macau accused by U.S. authorities of bribing a former United Nations General Assembly president won the right on Friday to leave jail on a $50 million bond and live under house arrest in a luxury Manhattan apartment.

U.S. authorities charged a former president of the United Nations General Assembly, a billionaire Macau real estate developer and four others today for engaging in a wide-ranging corruption scheme.

A billionaire Macau developer arrested for lying to U.S. customs officials about why he brought $4.5 million in cash into the United States was subpoenaed in 2014 as part of a separate foreign bribery investigation, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Mr Adelson's net worth soared $15 billion in 2013 from his gambling properties in Las Vegas, Macau and Singapore, making him the billionaire who made the most money this year.
