The world’s richest casinos are the Sands Group. Sheldon Anderson has made a billion-dollar fortune with casinos in Vegas, Atlantic City, and Macau. His casinos are worth over $15B, and he is worth over $26B, which makes him the third richest man in America. His casinos include the Venetian, Sands Macau, Venetian Macau, the Palazzo, Sands Bethworks, and Marina Bay Sands.

Anderson is able to stay ahead of the rest of the competition because of his superior knowledge of convention service. He won the coveted Singapore Gaming license last year, where he’ll build his $3.6B Marina Bay Sands.

Steve Wynn owns the other richest casinos. His properties included the Golden Nugget, The Mirage, Treasure Island, the Bellagio, the Wynn Macau, and the Wynn Las Vegas (above photo), but some have been sold to MGM Grand Inc. He’s worth $1.3B, not even close to what Anderson has accumulated in the casino business.

Michael Jackson’s famed Neverland Ranch has been purchased by Colony Capital Group, and rumor has it that the theme park may be transformed into a gaming resort. Colony owns Hiltons in both Vegas and Atlantic City, and their intention of purchasing the ranch could be to convert it to a casino.

It is a ready-made park with a zoo, Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, wave swinger, super slide, zipper, spider, sea dragon, dragon wagon kiddie roller coaster and bumper cars. The notoriety of the ranch will attract many people, but there’s one issue that’s flawed with this idea, if indeed Colony Capital Group is planning to attempt to bring a casino to Santa Barbara County, California.

The State of California doesn’t hand out gaming licenses like they do in Nevada. Rural land is not available for development, and Santa Barbara County is known for stopping developers looking to make a quick buck.
