S halom Meckenzie is an Israeli technology entrepreneur who became a billionaire primarily through his involvement with the sports betting and fantasy sports company DraftKings. He is known as the largest individual shareholder in the company. Meckenzie's journey into the betting world began with SBTech, a global technology company he founded that provides online sports betting and gaming platforms to operators around the world. He built SBTech into a major B2B player in the iGaming industry.

The pivotal moment in his wealth creation came in 2020 through a three-way special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger. This complex deal involved DraftKings, SBTech, and another company, which resulted in DraftKings becoming a publicly traded entity on the NASDAQ. As a major owner of SBTech, Meckenzie received a substantial block of shares in the newly public and much larger DraftKings, instantly making him one of the wealthiest individuals in the gaming industry. He continues to hold a significant stake, tying his fortune to the performance of the high-growth digital sports entertainment market.
