Why people always say ‘old money is the wealth only’. That’s a very premature statement to make. So michael Jackson wasn’t wealthy and 50cent ain’t wealthy? What about Bernard Arnault? I think that statement was championed by old money to limit the psyche of life time achievers. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU TELL YOURSELF.
This video left out a lot of wealthy families who are richer than those mentioned in this video such as, the 2 Stewarts, Issas, McConnells, Mahfoods, Dietrichs, Delissers, Desnoes, Myers, Harts, Hannas, Azans, Feanny, Khemlanis, to name a few and the list goes on…
Meaningful and creative work done surely there must be other rich family down there in Jamaica it’s a rich country Jamaica plenty money down there God bless Jamaica thank you
Wow! This is eye-opening. I had no idea there was so much wealth concentrated in Jamaica. It's inspiring to see the success stories and diverse businesses these families are involved in. Thanks for shedding light on this aspect of Jamaican culture and economy.
Yeah the blogger left off a lot of wealthy jamaica family for instance the sandals owners him don't even mention them and them use to own Air jamaica...
Greatful for wealthy contributors our country stands firm with! These positive uplifting networks they have been created to keep our economy and maintain our prosperity. I hope many more of our people will learn to embody the wealth within so we as a country can stand together in unity not just by culture but by the wealth of our people and their ability to adapt and drop outdated belief systems that keep them stuck and skyrocket so many into prosperity. One person taking self responsibility at a time will get us there!
Interesting to see who tops the list! Jamaica has a rich and diverse economy. This might spark a good conversation about the sources of wealth in the country. Are there other prominent families we should know about?
Preach! This video is like the tip of the iceberg of Jamaican wealth. Maybe they'll do a part two - "The Rest of Jamaica's Ridiculously Rich Families." The Stewarts, Issas - you're dropping names like it's a tropical fruits vendor convention.
The top 5 of the list made their momey from the backs of hard-working poor Jamaican people through taxes and working for little or no pay or thru government politics
Can I humbly ask for your help? I am a single, permanently disabled mom of 2 who is a 2x a survivor. I have been to hell and back. I’ve been through things that would give most nightmares for life. My kids dad left when they were very small. He ran off with my best friend. He has never sent one penny to help in raising our kids. We live in the ghetto because my ex took the house, cars, and motorcycle,etc. This is the only place I can afford to live. I’d be thrilled if I could own my own little house, a place for my monkey and inside as well. I would like to get a dependable car, pay off my kids college, and be able to take my kids on a vacation. I don’t like to ask for any help , however nothing will ever be any better for me. No hope. I live on 1000 a month with two kids. $1,000.00 doesn’t go far. Can you please help me? I think you could use it as a tax break!!! Please consider helping me please!? Thank You so very much!!!
Maybe the list is less focusing on those who gain wealth from exploitation of others such as SOME of the ones you mentioned . Also they have a monopoly and are mostly descandants of the former colonizers too.
Class antagonisms looms large .....the Kerr-Jarretts are known to have chopped down their crop of East Indian mangoes because poor Black people was illegally accessing them
@@sharonchinquee9829 and what Jamaica you live in ? Most of Jamaica don't have 250 us dollars in their bank account ,,, do you call hand to mouth feeding yourself ???
How do you know that? Yes there are several old money (& new) families in JA that were not mentioned. I can name at least 20 persons/families that are richer than Bolt and Marley’s that were not mentioned. But this doesn’t mean that Sean or Bolt doesn’t deserve to be mentioned.
So, are all these wealthy Jamaicans doing anything to help fix the mega problems we have in Jamaica??? Crime and violence, homelessness, poverty ( so many poor ppl ) the government is useless !
More importantly- Sean Paul works VERY hard. No other JA’can artist tours so widely and internationally as Sean Paul. He’s always performing somewhere! Meanwhile, the rest of other artists are busy fighting down each other in Jamaica. That’s why Sean will always be richer dan the whole a dem. 😒
He got only about 4 correct as far Jamaican families and not individuals are concerned. Lee-Chin and Chen and brothers so that 1. Matalon is also accurate. Marley is accurate. Kerr-Jarret is also correct. They others spoken of are mostly individual wealth. Sean Paul is not from the "main branch" of those Henriques that we have heard of ever so often.
Richest family xoes things like...in the 60s my uncle had a dairy farm. He saved up enough to get automatic milking machines and wanted more cows. Soon a man came and ztarted dangling big contracts to buy milk in his face. It took a few years but my uncle wanted to do it. The reason he was hesitant is because they said he needed to build a large dehydration building so the milk could be exported. Finally he agrred to get a loan and build it. Things went fine and he was making mobey for several years then they hit him with a balloon payment that he couldn't oay. Yhey took everything. His land his cows his barns and his home. Thats when they started turning Brownstown into a tourist area. O e of those family is making big money off my uncles land and bard work. Now there are hotels there. Which of the top 3 families you think benefited from things like this ?
Mostly mid level Capitalist, who have a strong hold on the island of mostly poor…the legacy of colonial economical slavery, classism, and colourism lives on in Jamaican society . Liberation now!!
This is a video about rich people, not wealthy people. Most people dont realize there is a big difference between them. To put things into context, there are 21 families who literally influenced jamaica, and most of us dont even know their names, thats wealthy.
HAHAHA!!! What philanthropy!!! Who did this research. The higher up you go on this list - the meaner they are. The top two give away and contribute to relatively nothing!!!
This is literal nonsense. Right now two Jamaicans in their 30s are Billionaires, both went to Manning's School in Westmoreland. Plus there are even older Jamaicans who have more money than these people.
You obviously don't know what rich is because these people are not the richest people in Jamaica these people are just the average up to do people they are Richard and the upper middle class but they are not rich people seriously don't know what rich is
This video is a joke, Lee ching has like 300,000 million Stewarts, likewise and many more Sean Paul comfortable, but him and the Marley money put together still Don match up to the top ten richest family
this doesn't even come close to the truth. want to know who's real rich in Jamaica look at the companies listed on the stock exchange. the musson family richer that everybody on this list
