Why do Amish have so much money?


Why do Amish have so much money? Some Amish people have become quite wealthy. Often this is due to successful businesses including woodworking and construction. It's harder to tell who the Amish millionaires are, however, since status symbols are less visible (to the non-Amish eye, at least).


How many babies do Amish people have?

Amish families are large. They believe in the injunction in the Book of Genesis to “be fruitful and multiply”, and families of 6 to 8 children are typical (with some communities averaging even 8 or 9 children per family).
