Every year Forbes publishes a list of the richest people in the world. And every year some Jew somewhere incredulously mentions how many Jews are on the list. This year, we were beaten to the punch by Tablet Magazine.
“If anything, though, it’s a list that, while it has a disproportionate number of Jews to be sure, is so thoroughly dominated by Gentiles that one can dream of a day when stereotypes about Jews and money lose whatever resonance they may have left.”
This my friends, is a typical ploy. Play it off as nothing more than speculation and anti-Semitism. That is, until you take a look at the list itself.
- Larry Ellison (5th, $39.5 billion).
- Sheldon Adelson (16th, $23.3 billion).
- Sergey Brin and Larry Page (24th, $19.8 billion).
- Michael Bloomberg (30th, $18.1 billion).
- Rinat Akhmetov (39th, $16 billion).
- John Paulson (39th, $16 billion).
- Mikhail Fridman (43rd, $15.1 billion).
- Michael Dell (44th, $14.6 billion).
- Steven Ballmer (46th, $14.5 billion)
- George Soros (46th, $14.5 billion).
- Mark Zuckerberg (52nd, $13.5 billion) his money isn’t real money, it’s only internet money. Forbes is really going downhill.
- Steve Cohen (114th, $8 billion).
- Ralph Lauren (173rd, $5.8 billion).
- Dorothea Steinbruch and family (173rd, $5.8 billion).
- Ira Rennert (196th, $5.2 billion).
So look at that. 16 nearly 6 billion dollar Jews. Lemme use my super Jewish math powers to deduce the fraction of Jews on the list, and if this constitutes controlling the world:
16 out of 200, or 12.5% are Jews out of the top 200 richest people in the world.
Compare that to say, the Jewish population in relation to the world population.
14 million out of 7 billion, or .002% of the world is Jewish
Then, we compare the two percentages….
Guess what, dear cynical reader? Do you want to know something crazy? Compared to the actual population, ‘the Jews’ are 6,250 times more likely to be one of the richest people alive! I know what you are thinking. This stereotype of controlling the world is never going to die, because it’s true enough to live on forever.
Now why the hell can’t that Jewish socialist stereotype make its way into my non-existent trust fund?

Jews will do acrobatic feats to avoid concede the reality: that they have disproportionate wealth and power. They will find ways to shut down discussion of this even by Jews. So if I were you, I would be careful, or you won’t get any more of those free concert tickets when you visit Seattle.

I hope we/us/they have better things to do than withhold a couple free tickets.
