2. Something to consider ....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (09.30.07)
We are a country of 5.5 million inhabitants with no natural riches to speak of (no oil). What is the total population of the Arab countries? 300-350 million (if anyone knows, tell me, I'm just guessing). And we're 7 out of 20. Not bad.
3. To Jason,#1
Jon ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.30.07)
All of the Israeli's listed earned their money themselves with the exception of Shari Arison
4. There are actually 8 Israelis on Forbes list
Richard ,   New York, USA   (09.30.07)
You didn' t mention Benny Steinmetz (583) and Morris Kahn (840).
5. Something to consider
Petra ,   USA   (10.03.07)
Brains have better results than oil. Many great, clever,products and from so few Jews. What will the camel drivers do when oil is no longer a viable necessity?
6. #1, Five are self made and two inherited
Richard ,   New York, USA   (10.04.07)
Stef Wertheimer, Lev Leviev, Yitzhak Tshuva, Arnon Milchan and Morris Kahn did it their way. Shari Arison and Benny Steinmetz inherited. Sammy Ofer moved to Monaco is no longer on the Forbes Middle East list.
