Billionaire Mitt Romney backer Sheldon Adelson may attend a Romney fundraiser in Jersualem on Monday, reports ABC News. A Romney donor who helped organize the fundraiser told ABC that Adelson will be at his home in Israel at the time of the fundraiser and may drop by. 

Adelson is currently in Las Vegas. His spokesman declined to comment on his schedule, according to ABC. 

From ABC:

The fundraiser was supposed to be on Sunday night, July 29… It has now been moved to Monday at 7:45 a.m. at the King David Hotel.

 

The famous hotel located in the center of Jerusalem is walking distance from the Western Wall. The event will be small, with only about 20 to 30 attendees, and it is expected to last until 10 a.m., according to the donor planning the breakfast. The price tag is $50,000 per couple or $100, 000 raised.  Only American citizens can donate to campaigns and most of the attendees will be Americans living in Israel or visiting at the time.

Adelson has pledged to spend up to $100 million to defeat President Obama.
