15 Most Successful Penny Stocks in History

1. Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:LVS)

Market Cap: $48.80 Billion

In 2007, Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:LVS) was booming as the company was doing exceedingly well in Macau, which was the most lucrative gambling market in the world. The company’s stock was trading near $150 per share, which made the company’s founder and CEO Sheldon Adelson the third richest American in 2007. However, the financial crisis sent the stock plummeting and in March 2009 it was trading under $2.0 per share. Mr. Adelson had to invest $1.0 billion of his money into the company. Since the crisis, the company’s outlook has brightened and the stock has rebounded and might still have some room to grow, given that it was affected by the recent gambling revenue decline in Macau.
