Steve Sailer alerted me to Forbes Israel's list of Jewish billionaires (http://www.forbes.co.il/rating/list.aspx?en6v0tVq=FK), pointing out the number of American Jews appears to be much lower than might be expected based on assessments of the ethnic makeup of the Forbes 400 in 2009 and 2010. As translated by Google:
The world's richest JewsHaving now looked at the 2012 Forbes 400, I see an ethnic breakdown similar to 2009/2010. The Forbes Israel "richest Jews" list was published about a week ago and appears to be put together based on the Forbes World's Billionaires list, which was updated in March 2013. The most recent Forbes 400 was finalized in September 2012, so, while minor differences are possible, for the US the lists should mostly overlap. The Forbes 400 threshold is about $1.1 billion (rather than $1 billion), so we'd tend to expect more US names on the Forbes Israel list than Jews in the Forbes 400 -- if the compilers were thorough. They don't appear to have been.Jewish billionaires comprise 11% of global billionaires list, and common wealth reaches -812 billion. Who is the top, and in some places deteriorated Mark Zuckerberg?
I count 43 Jews in the 2012 Forbes 400 not included in the Forbes Israel list:
Alexander Rovt
Arthur Blank
Bernard Saul, II. [Update: B.F. Saul is apparently not Jewish, but D.E. Shaw is, so the numbers remain the same.]
Bruce Karsh
Bruce Kovner
Charles Ergen
Daniel Och
Donald Bren
Edmund Ansin
Edward Lampert
Elaine Wynn
Eli Broad
Evgeny (Eugene) Shvidler
George Roberts
Henry Kravis
Henry Swieca
Herbert Allen, Jr. & family
Howard Marks
Ira Rennert
James Irsay
James Simons
Jeff Greene
Jerry Speyer
Leon Black
Leon G. Cooperman
Marc Lasry
Marc Rowan
Mitchell Rales
Neil Bluhm
Nelson Peltz
Peter Sperling
Reid Hoffman
Richard LeFrak & family
Robert Kraft
Sidney Kimmel
Stanley Druckenmiller [Update: I was unable to find any evidence of Jewish ancestry for Druckenmiler.]
Stephen Ross
Steve Wynn
Steven Rales
Stewart and Lynda Resnick
Stewart Rahr
Sumner Redstone
Thomas Steyer
Seven Jews included in the Forbes Israel list, but not the Forbes 400 (probably because they came in below the $1.1 billion cutoff):
Michael Rubin
Nicholas Pritzker
Nicholas Woodman [Update: half-Hispanic; I was unable to find any evidence of Jewish ancestry.]
Seth Klarman
Charles Zegar
Tory Burch
Sara Blakely
And two individuals who Forbes Israel classifies as Jewish but who I do not:
Phil Anschutz
Amos Hostetter, Jr.
Adding a net of 41 names to the 163 Forbes managed to come up with pushes the estimated proportion of Jews among world billionaires from 11.4% to 14.3%. While I'm not going to look at the full 1426 person Forbes Billionaires list right now, obviously the Jewish proportion could be even higher depending on how many people Forbes Israel staffers missed in the rest of the world or in the US below $1.1 billion.

“Forbes Israel” Ranks Israel’s Richest Rabbinic Figures
ReplyDeleteSunday June 10, 2012 12:27 PM - 10 Comments
Rav Pinchas Abuchatzeira, the great-grandson of the Babi Sali, is Israel’s richest rabbinic figure, with an estimated fortune of NIS 1.3 billion, according to the “Forbes Israel’s” ranking of Israel’s ten richest rabbinic figures. The magazine says that the social protest hurt the fortunes of the rabbinic figure ’s activities, by greatly reducing their income from donations from tycoons.
The value of a rabbinic figure can have little significance for the personal wealth of an individual rabbinic figure, but includes charitable activities and their properties. The rabbinical communities have an annual turnover of over NIS 1 billion, according to various estimates, but the nature of a community’s activities, which are difficult to monitor, has given risen to much higher estimates of turnover. The value of the rabbinical communities are based on interviews and conversations with scores of officials from the rabbinical communities by experts on the charedi communities, the Israel Police, assessors, and various charedi sources. Current and former Israel Tax Authority officials also contributed to the rankings.
Rav Pinchas Abuchatzeira inherited most of his fortune from his father, Rav Elazar Abuchatzeira Hy”d, who was murdered last year in Beer Sheva. The fortune of Rav Pinchas Abuchatzeira’s uncle, Rav David Abuchatzeira is estimated at NIS 750 million. Many national and local politicians pay homage to the rov.
The Gerer Rebbe is ranked in third place, with a fortune of NIS 350 million. The Belzer Rebbe is in fourth place, with a fortune of NIS 180 million. Rav Nir Ben-Artzi is in fifth place, with a fortune of NIS 100 million, followed by Rav Yaakov Ifargen, with a fortune of NIS 90 million, and Rav Yeshayahu Pinto, with a fortune of NIS 75 million.
Rav David Abuchatzeira is considered a financial expert, with real estate and stock investments in Israel and around the world.

Stanley Druckenmiller isn't Jewish. Druckenmiller is an occupational name for an agricultural worker, and he gives hundreds of millions of dollars to charity each year but doesn't give to Jewish charities. He also started his career at a midwest bank, which is a very un-Jewish way to get into Wall Street.
ReplyDeleteJames,
ReplyDeleteI'll look into it. JTA calls Druckenmiller Jewish, but I think this is the same columnist who didn't do that accurate a job with the Forbes 400.
