NYC Jewish billionaires
More fodder for the conspiracy theorists: Gawker's publisher estimates that at least 19 of the
Forbes 400's 25
NYC billionaires are Jewish. (20 by my count.) Not that we're obsessed or anything. The full list, with Gawker annotations, is below.

This Year’s NYC Billionaires
Congratulations to all of us for the addition of six New York City billionaires on the Forbes annual list: last year, we only had 25. (Technically, we’ve got more than 31: for instance, George Soros’s current use of his upstate address excludes him from the list somewhat inaccurately.) More skewing: three on this billionaires list are the Ziff boys. (Daniel Ziff: still single!)
We all know that the more people hoard vast amounts of wealth, the better off the rest of us are, right? Riiight. In any event, the real story this year: a marked statistical increase in goyishe billionaires.
9 out of the 31 are Gentiles, as opposed to last year’s list, with only 5 of the 25.
