Here is map of where Israel is 


Here are the top 3 richest selfmade billionaires in Israel 
#1  Patrick Drahi   $7.4 Billion
Age 54   Net Worth 
Born Morocco   Citizen Israel and France
Selfmade in Telecom 


#2  Stefan Wertheimer 
Age  91  Net Worth $5.8 Billions
Born Germany  Citizen Israel 
Selfmade in Machine Tools


#3 Arnon Milchan
Age 73   Net Worth $3.5 Billions
Born Israel   Citizen Israel 
Selfmade in Movies
Produced more than 100 movies in Hollywood 
including  Pretty Woman 


 Here are my 5 Paradoxes of Israel 
#1  More than 60% of selfmade billionaires in Israel have high school or less education 

I cannot explain why..  I found the same in Hong Kong, most of the richest have very average to below average education 

#2  50% of selfmade billionaires are immigrants. 
Whereas 25% of Israeli population are immigrants 

So, despite what the politicians say, immigrants twice as likely to succeed big than native born

#3 Israel surrounded by enemies 

#4  Israel has limited natural resources 

#5  There are 3 year compulsory military service in Israel 

So, it must be extremely difficult to make a huge fortune in Israel 

In spite of that, Israel has the second highest density of selfmade billionaires in the world

For every million population, there are more than 2 selfmade billionaires
Hong Kong has the highest proportion of selfmade billionaires, about 5 per million population

United States ranks third, with about 1.1 selfmade billionaire per million population

Born  Frankfurt, Kansas , USA     Citizen US
Selfmade in Retail (Arts and Crafts)     
co-founded Hobby Lobby with Barbara Green in 1972

Education:  Graduated near bottom of his high school (because he was working full-time at retail)

Here is picture of David Green
He is a religious or God made (instead of selfmade) billionaire
 


Here is the link to my youtube video 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id-NlSoJqWA
Hobby Lobby is a chain of arts and crafts with over 800 stores 
and 28,000 stores 


David Green important because he founded his business on biblical principles and he has tremenedous success 

For the first 5 years, David Green was full-time store manager at T.G.&.Y. 


He employed his 2 sons (age 7 and 9) to manufacture picture frame at 7 cents a piece

He did not pay his wife Barbara anything



So, David Green jokes around he founded Hobby Lobby on Child Labor and Slave Labor

In 2017, he donated the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC, dedicated to spread the message of the Gospel and the Message of Jesus Christ
