I saw this ranking of the wealthiest people in January 2025 and was struck by the diversity of backgrounds. Musk at the top with $421 billion (atheist), then Bezos with $233 billion. Interestingly, Bezos, raised in a Roman Catholic family, has Jewish roots on his family’s side that not everyone knows well. Anyway, the list is full of Jewish names: Ellison, Zuckerberg, Brin, Sergey. Then there are Catholics like Arnault of LVMH with $168 billion. Among Protestant Christians, we have Buffett and Ballmer. Page is an atheist like Musk. The only one we don’t know much about is Jensen Huang of Nvidia with $117 billion — his religious affiliation remains private. What stands out is that wealth doesn’t have a clear religious pattern; it’s more related to tech and business. What do you think about this distribution? Curious how the personal backgrounds of these billionaires are so diverse, yet they all built empires in tech or finance.
