Because whites are willing to work for their riches.

Thats a really good question but....
I hope that you are not implying that you think everyone in like U.S.A and U.K who is rich is white. There are very rich, insainly wealthy, people everywhere around the world, on every continant, of every race, religion, and cultural background (exept Antartica because there is no permanant population there). (Although I'm sure that there are wealthy scientists there right now)
I think it is because countries that seem to have more money have a more established government, and some off these countries are much older than some others, who are on their way to doing better.

Oh ye of little faith! What of the Arabic world. Oil Rich or not. Of course I would have to put in that the rich get richer in what ever country you live in. America has some really poor states. So poor, that if you were to shoot a movie in the heart land some people would think that you are just making up how poor people really are. However, don't tell some of them how poor they are because they are very happy in their life with what little they have.

They are rich because the whites made the system the world lives by today. it was their culture to be very materialistic, conquer everything and steal all of the goods in the areas. Logically the countries with the most European influence would be the richest in the European concept of being rich. (i'm not saying other civilization's don't like money, i'm just saying they aren't the ones that took over the world)

Hey Nick,
Do you even know what is going on in this world?
First of all, the U.S may be a super-power, but it has a deficit sky high - many areas of America are dirt poor; and it has become so bad off that many, many people can't even afford to have health insurance. I know I don't have it - can't afford it, and I work my tail off.
What about the Middle East? They aren't considered to be "white" people, yet, man, are they ever rich!
What about Japan? They aren't "white" either, and they are a rich country.
Many eastern European are "white," yet are dirt poor.
England's elite may have money, but have you checked out the country's unemployment rate? They are a "white" country, in your words.
Where do you get your info from, man?

well, there are other countries that are 'rich'...but it depends on what you call 'rich'. rich was defined as paper money by europeans many years before others. some countries considered family and religion as a way of life more than just 'paper'. and some countries, like several in west africa (before the slave trade) were rich in trade among other tribes. chinese...have you seen their archtitect? speaking of architect, check out south america. o, have you heard of technology/ fashion empire, japan?
europe just started the 'world bank' alot earlier than other countries that were often destroyed by euro's diseases and horrible schemes. and the countries worked intertwined within each other...so other countries are kind of 'newer' in this paper money situation...some countries are exceptions.
i don't know how to clear it up in a few paragraphs, but 'rich' can be alot of different things

Depends what you consider white. If Russians and Romanians are white, they are kinda poor. So in that case, not all the "white" nations are wealthy. Besides, Japan is not white but is fairly wealthy. Same with Singapore and UAE. Your observation is a little off.

If you notice throughout history whites have exploited, killed and stolen from other nations to gain their riches. They used the Chinese to build the railroads, blacks as slaves, stole the natives land, stole natural resources, gold, and oil from other countries. Then they deny these people from benefiting and getting their fair share.
