Jews Have All the Money

We are taught that it was Hashem Who insisted that עם ישראל leave Egypt with great wealth. The Talmud in מסכת ברכות tells us that the people told Moshe that they didn’t even care about leaving with such wealth. They were happy to be leaving with their freedom. The Gemara further states in the name of Rav Yehuda in the name of Shmuel, that all of the gold and silver of the world was gathered by Yosef and brought to Egypt. When the Torah tells us, וינצלו את מצרים, that they took advantage of Egypt, it means that the Jews now possessed all the money of the world. (Maybe this is why the Gentiles say that the Jews have all the money!) Perhaps this aspect of the redemption is significant to magnify the obvious Hand of G-d. The enslaved Jewish nation completely dismantled the superpower of the world, and left them completely empty of their former glory. This is an important aspect of יציאת מצרים.
