“We support Israel in every possible way,” declared Alex Karp several times this year. As co-founder and CEO of innovative data giant Palantir Technologies – one of the most valued companies in information and artificial intelligence – Karp has proudly shared how within weeks of the war’s outbreak, his company was already collaborating with security organizations in Israel.
Palantir was even involved in operational activities on the ground – alongside declared support from almost every possible platform.
The wealth of Karp, who has become one of Israel’s strongest and most talked-about supporters in the world since October 7, has grown exponentially.
The technology information company he co-founded with Peter Thiel has shown phenomenal growth in recent years and has grown to a market value of $175 billion after its stock surged by more than 350% in 2024. The “Genius Entrepreneur,” as he is called by many in the industry, added more than $6 billion to his net worth in the last year alone.
