Huh strange, can't check his background easily. The only article that mentions his parents (the no 1 predictor of extreme wealth) comes from the "Globes" in Israel. And it, strangely, has no repute information on Ground News or Media Bias/Fact Check, weirdly. It has just short of ~900 stories observed, but nothing about how accurate they are? And the Globes is supposed to be an older newspaper (founded ~1983), more than enough time to fact check them. And so no way to know if what they report is believable or not. All of the reputable results are glowing articles about successes that read like press-releases. It sounds looks a carefully curated Internet presence. https://ground.news/interest/globes https://ground.news/interest/globes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globes_(newspaper) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globes_(newspaper)
