Well, it's for a couple of reasons. God blessed them. Jews tend to make all of their children go to college.
They are naturally blessed with good haggling skills.
They don't spend their time like we do, and they don't spend their money like we do.

Jews value education, wealth, and inheritance. You will not find Jews in certain jobs. Other people/cultures who value education and wealth are also successful. Inheritance is big in Jewish culture; the Bible says grandparents should leave an inheritance to their grandchildren which Jews takes seriously.

In addition to all the reasons already given, God wants them to be wealthy as one of the ways of protecting them. A lot of money is put into Israel's military manpower and technology today to fend off their enemies successfully since its rebirth in 1948.

In WWII, a lot of Jewish money was used to help the Jews that the Lord wanted to survive to escape or hide in plain sight.

And all through the Jewish history of their diaspora, the wealth God blessed them with just helped so that the Jews never had to be economically dependent on any of the countries they settled in and allowed them to remain distinct and separate as God wanted them to.

Likewise in Australia. And in Europe. Maybe God's promises to Abraham were true after all.

Basically, it is called "locking arms."

Sorry, my brain just suffered a segfault error.

They control media, banking, finance, Hollywood... All the things that so many people decry as evil?

Are we really sure this is of God?

Some who claim faith are yet deeply preferring the creation in lieu of the Creator.

Easy to be wealthy when you have other people giving you billions, and all you have to do is start a war to get the ball rolling, zelensky another example, a jew running a country who were fighting with the jews long before hitler was, now they are being paid back by sending them all to their deaths for revenge and money and land.

Howdy and welcome to the Forum.

I got curious about this claim, so after a bit of creative googling I found it is owned by ethical capital partners, run by Rocco Meliambro. That is definitely an Italian name, not a Jewish name.

Where does the Jewish owner come in?

Also, will you take responsibility if somebody finds "who owns PornHub?" in my search history and starts asking a lot of questions? :p

Follow the money, I have not time to go over your findings, I checked this out,
and in doing so again, I see google has taken down a lot of information and
replaced it with less incriminating information regarding the owner of pornhub,
its easy to bury the truth when your people control the media.

Ah yes, of course. It always comes back to a conspiracy.

Maybe, instead of a paradox, one of the things you believe are not true.

Maybe the jews do not own everything.

Maybe you are being lied to by those with hatred.

Where many Jewish families do teach financial matters to their children....they aren't magic or a cabal of financial wizards. They teach their children sound financial principles. The difference between luxuries and necessities and WHY they are classified as such so that they do not impoverish themselves.

Haha what a topic, eh?

Ok, here’s my take on this since I love genealogy.

First of all comes the question: Are you really Jewish or did you do one of those DNA swab tests that Americans love to do and found out that your great grandfather was a Jew from Poland and now the government has your DNA swabs? Lol

If I were to give you my experience it would be like this.
My wife and I are from Albania. 100% raised and born there and we finished high school there. I can trace my family tree with documents back to 1500s that proves that I’m 100% Albanian. Before that, we know based on history where my ancestors came from.
Now this proves that I’m Albanian by culture but not by bloodline because I’m sure that there has been other nations mixed in my family tree before the documents that I have, so it’s impossible to say that I’m 100% Albanian by bloodline.
Same thing applies for anybody else including the Jews.
The British for example are very good at keeping documents tracing back to year 1000 but even before that, it’s very hard to pin down their true origins.
Anyway, back to our time and generation. Since my wife and I are Albanian, the same cannot be said for our kids who are born in USA. They are American and they have as much in common with Albania as an extended tourist might have.
So, when you say “I’m Jewish”, the real question is: Where were you born?
Because if you’re born in USA, you have as much in common with Israel or the area known as Israel before the world powers created it after WW2, you have as much in common with an extended tourist vacation.
Yes, I know some families are hard on preserving tradition. Very very hard. Even in these cases when the kid don’t rebel against their family due to cultural differences, they still cannot be fully formed as “Jewish” if they were born, raised and educated in USA. If you go back to your parent’s country which could be Italy, Greece, Israel or whatever, they are going to call you “American” not one of their own.
I remember Madeline Albright who was secretary of state and was a person known on the eastern block because she was born in the Czech Republic. But everyone referred to her as an American with some Czech roots because everyone knew that she has as much in common with a Czech as a tourist might have.
So this is the first aspect to distinguish when we say anything about Jewish people or any other nation.

The second part as to why they might be in positions of power could be a two-fold answer.
The first part is that they are very determined. They have a lot of similarities as my culture. I know this because I’ve met many of them when I was young and now that I work with them. I mean Jews who are born in Israel who speak broken English, not Jews who are born in US. And one of them is not even Jewish by origin but Russian by origin.
But they are very determined. So they work hard to get into positions which pay a lot of money. And good for them! Their hard work pays off so God bless them.
And Yes, I’ve seen all the pictures of these so-called “Jews” in positions of power like you mentioned government, Hollywood etc, but none of them are Jews from Israel. They’re Americans first and maybe on one side of their family they had a parent who was from Israel or the area known as Israel before WW2 and that’s why they say they’re Jewish.

The second part is maybe a matter of perception?
There are many other ethnicities in positions of power and who have wealth so it’s not just the Jewish.

First, you've got to specify what you mean by Jew. A word that doesn't mean anything results in a claim that doesn't mean anything. There are also a lot of government bureaucrats in America who one might think have been "truly blessed" in terms of financial prosperity. At least in the latter claim, the definition of the group is not ambiguous.

From what I understand, many families changed their names during World War III to a color. Anything with Black, White, Pink, Green, Brown, Gold, or ending in erg, ein, are jsut many by way of example, Goldman, Greenberg, Weinstein, Blackmon, etc etc.

Which jobs do they not do? I’m assuming because they value education, more white collar jobs?

There are many other ethnicities in positions of power and who have wealth so it’s not just the Jewish.

I worked for a Jewish family in Beverly Hills for 11 years, they were billionaires two times over so extremely wealthy, but even before they were wealthy, their parents were already very wealthy. That Said they’re very tight nit and very shrewd in terms of business. I do believe that God wants “them” to succeed so there’s an X factor beyond just hard work and valuing wealth and prosperity.
It;s really fascinating to me.
