I was reading this Wikipedia page which goes over a list of Jewish American businessmen and when I went the to financial services section, I was surprised about the number of billionaires. Everyone was a entrepreneur, philanthropist, hedge fund manager, mutual fund manager, CEO, or some other high ranking and lucrative job. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ncial_services

The childhood background stories were almost formulaic. Attend Ivy league school, graduate on top of class or close with a STEM degree, work into wall street, climb the ranks, create your own separate business. Or if that doesn't work, pool money together and create your own business,
Even Donald Trump's own son-in-law who is Jewish, has considerable wealth.
So is the Jewish American population harder working? Better networks and support groups? More emphasis on education? Culturally, is there something that other demographic can learn from when it comes to the propsperity of Jewish American, despite the antisemitism they have faced past and present.
