Forbes Israël fait des listes de milliardaires juifs... mais aucun Rothschild n'y figure, c'est bizarre non?

Inutile aussi de chercher le nom Rothschild dans la liste de Forbes des milliardaires du monde entier...

Forbes Israël a identifié les personnes juives les plus riches dans le monde, avec les estimations du site, jusqu'à 165 des milliardaires de la planète en 2013 ont des antécédents juifs. Leur richesse commune totalise plus de 800 milliards de dollars selon le magazine d'affaires.

Larry Ellison, le PDG du centre de technologie Oracle est en tête de liste, avec une valeur nette de 43 milliards de dollars. Il est le troisième homme le plus riche des Etats-Unis. Oracle est le troisième fournisseur de logiciels informatiques avec Microsoft et IBM.

Le Maire de New York, Michael Bloomberg prend la deuxième place dans la liste Forbes. Bloomberg, qui est censé posséder 27 milliards de dollars, détient l'empire financier Bloomberg, très bien côté, qui représente un tiers de l'ensemble du marché mondial des données financières.

Suivant sur la liste, le magnat des casinos Sheldon Adelson pour un total de 26,5 milliards de dollars, dont l'empire du jeu, s'étend de Las Vegas à Macao, avec des plans en préparation pour la station de EuroVegas près de Madrid, en Espagne. EuroVegas comprendra six casinos, trois terrains de golf, 17 théâtres et bien plus encore.

Les fondateurs de Google, Larry Page et Sergey Brin figurent également dans le top dix, à la fois avec une valeur nette de plus de 22 milliards de dollars. Page et Brin, que l'on voit ici avec le président israélien Shimon Peres, sont à l'origine de la création de l'une des entreprises technologiques les plus innovantes au monde, qui inclut YouTube et Gmail.

Un autre gourou de la technologie juive est le fondateur de Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, qui se trouve à la 16ème place sur la liste des juifs les plus riches. Alors que sa fortune a baissé à 13,3 milliards de dollars à cause du lancement de l'action qui a échoué, Facebook reste le principal acteur sur le marché des médias sociaux.

Forbes Israel boasts of power of Jewish billionaires

by Phil Weiss and Ira Glunts on April 19, 2013

Forbes Israel brags on 165 Jewish billionaires

The illustration is the cover of Forbes Israel. The date is April 2013. It just hit the net. The title is "The Billionaires." The banner on the right says, "Special Edition, 165 Jewish billionaires, 17 Israelis, 16 [Jewish] women, 812 cumulative billions (of billionaires' wealth)."

That's 165 out of a total of 1426 billionaires in the world, or 11%. One of us (Phil) likes to write about the new position of Jews sociologically: and out of the 50 richest people in the world, about a quarter are Jewish. Most of those Jewish billionaires appear to be American, though this is an Israeli publication.

Power and money go together, of course. The sell-line above the logo reads: "Billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov plans to replace Putin as the most powerful person in Russia." And the article features Sheldon Adelson at #3, the man who bankrolled Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney and skewed our political debate last year way right.

The coverboy for Israel Forbes is Ron Lauder (Estee Lauder's son -- number 60 among Jews, # 376 in the world). They have an interview with him. His quote in blue says, "Only if we talk with the Palestinians will we able to make progress." Cute. This guy has always been a right-winger.

According to the Hebrew article which Ira read and will bookmark here for safekeeping, of the 29 billionaires globally who are under 40, "20% are Jewish." (That's 5.8 people. For a big shot money mag, maybe they should be more exact.)

Here and here are two English links. The Jerusalem Post is the first link. It provides a translation of the Forbes Israel (Hebrew page).

Of the 1,426 billionaires around the globe, 165 of them are Jews, and their joint wealth reaches the incredible amount of $812 billion... Compared with last year, the joint wealth of the 165 Jewish billionaires has grown substantially.

The Forbes Israel page lists the 165 with a bunch of interesting information. Sheldon Adelson is number three among Jews -- 15th richest in el mundo-- after Larry Ellison and Michael Bloomberg. Mark Zuckerberg is a lowly 16. Michael Dell is number 12. (Without even knowing this vital information, Ira has been a loyal customer of his since buying his first computer over 20 years ago.)

We wonder what kind of run the U.S. Jewish press will give this. Well, already, Adam Weinstein at Gawker reported it but in a dismissive manner. His take is, OK crazies, use this for your antisemitic theories. The Forward has a breaking news notice. It sources the story to Hebrew Forbes, and says that they broke out the Jewish rich guys.

Ultimately this is a story about power, and about telling and/or not telling a truth which is in many ways inconvenient. Yes, it could foster anti-Semitism, but the Israeli Forbes issue also indicates the hubris about pro-Israel financial clout that is itself part of the problem.
