The Indians and Israelis in the United States of America are fueling the economic growth of the country. The billionaire immigrants from Asia own and run more than 100 billion-dollar start-up companies in America thus acting as engines to realise the billion-dollar dream and are powering the economic growth story of America. The Indian-origin persons are founders of more than 96 American billion-dollar start-up companies. Similarly, Israeli immigrants own and run more than 60 billion-dollar companies in the US, thus acting as key pillars in turbo charging the American economy.
As per the 2025 data, Indian-origin businessmen have surpassed China and Israel and rank at the apex position among the immigrant communities who are bulwarks of defining the American economy. On the other hand, Chinese-origin businessmen hold 41 firms in the United States and rank in the fourth place. The third place is owned by immigrants from the United Kingdom with 47 firms. Meanwhile, France and German immigrants hold and run 21 and 18 billion-dollar startup companies in the US.
