And yet Asian-Americans are far behind Jewish-Americans in terms of the number of famous, super-successful individuals. Doing good in school is great, but real life is more important.
You also have to account for the fact that Jews have had significant numbers in the US for longer than Asians have. The big wave of Jewish immigration was late 19th/early 20th century; the big wave of Asian immigration was late 20th, so even if numbers today are relatively even, there have been fewer generations of Asians that have been able to become "super-successful".
