I remembered a story. Not perhaps directly related to this topic - more about the Rabbis' uncanny abilities. The Satmar Rabbi came to the US to raise money for his institutions. He came with very few suporters who were all quite poor. He organized a fundraiser event. But it wasn't a success. The same few supporters came, who very very poor. The Rabbi sat quiet for a long time, and then he exclaimed: "I see we have no choice! The only solution would be if all of you became very rich and supported our movement with your money." And, indeed, in a very short period of time, all of the people who were present at this fundraiser became multi-millioners. I'm telling this story from memory. Maybe someone could correct me if they know some details.
