Is The JP Morgan CEO Gay?

What is the banker Jamie Dimon’s religion? Although Dimon has not taken a public stance on his religious views, his grandparents have ancestral roots in Greece. Therefore, we can assume that he may be an unorthodox Greek Christian.

The billionaire businessman has a Bachelor’s degree from Tufts University in psychology and economics. He then earned his MBA from the prestigious Harvard Business School.

Jamie Dimon is an American billionaire and financial executive, the chairman and CEO of the banking firm JPMorgan Chase & Co. Forbes has estimated Dimon’s net worth to be $1.8 million.

Billionaire Jamie Dimon Religion: Is He Jewish? His Grandparents Were Greek Immigrants

No, Jamie Dimon is not a Jew. Despite being married to a Jew, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase did not convert to Judaism either before or after their union.

Jamie Dimon was born James Dimon in New York to Theodore and Themis Dimon.

The wall street magnate Jamie Dimon’s religion is Greek unorthodox. To date, Christianity is the most followed religion in Greece.

Most aspects of the Greek Orthodox church today are influenced by ancient Greek religion and gods.

On one public occasion, while addressing rival banks, he made a biblical reference and mentioned that the Old Testament’s concept of justice should be implemented to serve justice.

Jamie Dimon said, “I want to call it ‘bankruptcy for big dumb banks.’ There should be some form of Old Testament justice including clawback [compensation].”

The banker is married to a Jewish woman. However, he did not convert to Judaism for his marriage. Since he is connected to Christianity and Judaism (via marriage), he possesses excellent religious tolerance.

Dimon’s grandfather, Panos Papademetriou, was also a banker in Greece who moved to New York in 1921.

In his book, “Last Man Standing: The Ascent of Jamie Dimon & JPMorgan Chase,” he gives two accounts of why his grandfather changed the family name from Papademetriou to Dimon.

The first one was that he fell in love with a French girl and wanted a surname that sounded French. Another one was that it was difficult for Greeks to find jobs, so he changed his surname to get a job.
