Moses Marx from Riverdale, NY is widely believed to be one of the wealthiest Orthodox Jews in the world. Other Orthodox Jewish billionaires include Mordy Sohn from Lawrence, NY and Ben Heller from Lawrence, NY. There are possibly a dozen other Orthodox Jews with a net worth in excess of $1 billion.
Additionally, there are an estimated 1,200 - 1,300 Orthodox Jews with a net worth in excess of $100 million.
It is worth noting that many Orthodox Jews, including chasidim, are extraordinarily wealthy, yet they are not believed to be so wealthy because most of their wealth is invested in private companies such as residential apartment buildings and cash businesses. As such, it is very difficult to ascertain or even to estimate the value of these private holdings.
