The scale of their wealth
Health
The price of life
Let's compare Drorit Wertheim's fortune with the healthcare spending of a massive country
Drorit Wertheim could fund the entire healthcare system of DR Congo, with a population of over 105,800,000 people, for approximately 1.0 years.
But even if we compare their fortune with that of a rich country
On the other end, Drorit Wertheim could cover the healthcare spending of Luxembourg, considered the most heavily funded healthcare system in the world, for 0.4 years.
Education
Buying the future
Let's also compare their fortune with education spending, first with a poor country
Drorit Wertheim could cover the total cost of Nigeria's education system, the most populous country in Africa with over 243,000,000 inhabitants, for 0.6 years.
And yes, we can also compare it with a rich country
But they couldn't just cover the cost of a poor country; Luxembourg is considered the country with the highest per capita investment in education in the world, and Drorit Wertheim could pay for it entirely for 0.9 years.
Research
The monopoly on progress
Coming full circle, we think it's also interesting to add another gigantic country
Drorit Wertheim could fully fund the state research budget of Pakistan, the fifth most populous country in the world with over 260,000,000 inhabitants, for 3.7 years.
And of course, the country that invests the most per capita worldwide
But even if we compare the total wealth of Drorit Wertheim with Israel, the country that invests the most per capita in research in the world, they could cover the total cost of the system for 0.1 years.
Gold
Everyday luxuries
Drorit Wertheim's fortune is equivalent to 15 tons of gold. It's hard to process, since we don't usually keep a handful of gold bars in our piggy banks.
A standard gold ring usually weighs between 4 and 7 grams. Let's say this one weighs 5 grams. It's usually 18 karats.
Based on today's gold price (excluding the jeweler's commission, shipping, or anything else), that ring would be worth $546.86.
Drorit Wertheim could buy 3,995,029 gold rings. That's a lot of fingers and way too many gifts!!
And if you're struggling to visualize that many rings, it would take 1 trucks to transport them. Although Drorit Wertheim will almost certainly have enough money left over to pay for the gas.
Biography
David and Drorit Wertheim are the children of the late Moshe Wertheim (d. 2016) who founded the Central Bottling Company, Israel's only Coca Cola bottler.
Before he died, Moshe Wertheim gave his children ownership over the company, as well as his shares in Mizrahi Tefahot Bank and Alony Hetz.
In 2018, David purchased all of his sister's shares in Alony Hetz, then sold them because of Israeli anti-monopoly rules.
In 2019, the siblings became majority shareholders in Mizrahi Tefahot bank.
David controls 67% of the Central Bottling Company and manages the business while Drorit owns the remaining shares.
