Steve Wynn is an American developer best known for building major casino resorts in Las Vegas and beyond. He entered Las Vegas in 1967 after taking over his family’s struggling bingo business. He later bought into the Golden Nugget and turned it into a bigger operation.

His wealth came from casinos, hotels, and the companies behind them. Wynn led or developed properties including The Mirage, Treasure Island, Bellagio, Beau Rivage, and Wynn Las Vegas. In 2000, Mirage Resorts was sold to MGM Grand Inc. in a $6.6 billion deal. He then cofounded Wynn Resorts in 2002 and later took it public. Forbes put his net worth at $4.3 billion on its real-time tracker in October 2026.
How Steve Wynn built his fortune
Wynn made his money by developing and running casino resorts. After moving into Las Vegas in 1967, he built his position through the Golden Nugget and expanded into Atlantic City.

He also oversaw Beau Rivage in Mississippi, extending his reach beyond Nevada.
A big turning point came in 2000, when Mirage Resorts was sold to MGM Grand Inc. He had already bought the Desert Inn that year, then used the site for a new chapter.
