The ranking of Israel's wealthiest shows fluctuations at the top of the economy. While Eyal Ofer and Miriam Adelson lost $200 million each, Idan Ofer increased his wealth. The Federmann family suffered the most significant losses.
The top of the Israeli wealth list is experiencing slight shifts, as shown by the latest update of the ranking of Israel's wealthiest. The new data reveals a mixed trend among the five richest people in the country, with one notable gainer against significant declines for some of the others.
In first place remains Eyal Ofer, a businessman operating in the fields of real estate, energy, and shipping. Despite his wealth shrinking by $200 million, it now stands at $35.7 billion (compared to $35.9 billion in the previous ranking). Immediately after him is Miriam Adelson, publisher of "Israel Hayom" and controlling owner of the "Sands" casino empire. Adelson recorded an identical decline of $200 million, and her wealth settled at exactly $34 billion.
The bright spot in the ranking belongs to Idan Ofer, who holds extensive interests in the fields of chemicals and shipping. He is the only one in the top five who increased his wealth, with a gain of $200 million that brought his total to $32.5 billion, narrowing the gap between him and Adelson.
In fourth place, brothers Dmitry and Igor Bukhman, founders of the gaming giant Playrix, maintain absolute stability, with their wealth remaining unchanged at $13.6 billion.
Closing the top five is the Federmann family, known for their control of Dan Hotels and Elbit Systems, which suffered the hardest economic blow. The family's wealth dropped by $900 million, from $10.9 billion to $10 billion.
