Some of the richest Jews in the world include individuals like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Sergey Brin. They amassed their wealth through creating successful technology companies like Facebook, Oracle, and Google, respectively. Other wealthy Jews have made their fortunes through investments, real estate, and other business ventures.
No, not all Jews believed that Roman taxes were a good idea. Many Jews resented the heavy taxation imposed by the Romans as it was a reminder of their subjugation and oppression. Some Jews also believed that paying taxes to a foreign, pagan authority was a violation of their religious beliefs.

This is a very interesting question. The answer is: probably, a surprisingly large amount. But trying to quantify it is not going to be a simply process of research - you'll also need to jump endless hurdles of barriers and accusations in trying to answer it. This is what makes it an interesting question. Take for instance the only other reply to this question - an outright dismissal and denial. I presume that person had never heard of the Rothschilds. You should begin there, look into the Rothchild family's wealth, and then ask yourself why they never feature on the world's top ten richest lists (typically those lists only count generated wealth from business people, not inherited wealth). The top ten richest people in the world are all members of the Rothschild family and their total wealth in into trillions (not billions - trillions) on dollars. This is before you factor in the combined wealth of Hollywood executives (most of whom are Jewish), Jewish music producers, and Jewish investment bankers around the world. While you're researching this and dodging accusations of antisemitism, make sure you stop to consider the absurdity of acknowledging that Jews are among the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world is considered "antisemitism". Why is it taboo for the population to accept as common knowledge that Jews are overrepresented in global wealth and power? The questions just keep getting more and more interesting.
Wealth and the acquisition of it is as important - and unimportant - to Jews as it is to people of other communities, depending on the importance attached to it by the individual.

Jews are wealthier on average than Arabs are, but this is more a function of the fact that a much higher percentage of Jews live in first-world countries than do Arabs. There are also a number of Arab Oil Sheikhs who are extraordinarily wealthy, outstripping many Jews in their wealth.
It varies from person to person. Bill Gates, the richest man in the United States, is an atheist. Warren Buffett is an agnostic. By coincidence, they are also major philanthropists.Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world in 2010 is a Maronite Catholic.
Because the Jews were an alien race that poisoned German cultural life and brought Germans into poverty through their control of money and their huge wealth. The Jews were responsible to a large extent for Germany's defeat in World War I (the perpetrators of the "stab in the back").
Those statistics are not gathered. A better answer, straight from Orthodox Judaism, is: The richest one is the one who is happiest with whatever he has.
