Amnon Shashua is an Israeli computer scientist, entrepreneur, and professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has been on the computer science faculty there since 1996, became an associate professor in 1999, and received full professorship in 2003. His best-known business role is leading Mobileye, the autonomous driving company he cofounded with Ziv Aviram in 1999. He was also elected in 2026 to the US National Academy of Engineering as an international member.
His wealth comes mainly from automotive technology. Mobileye built systems-on-chip and computer vision software for driver assistance and self-driving systems. The company went public in 2014 in the biggest Israeli IPO ever in the US at that time, then Intel bought it in 2017 at a $15.3 billion valuation. Shashua also cofounded OrCam in 2010 and later started ventures including AI21 Labs, One Zero, Mentee Robotics, and AAI Technologies.
How Amnon Shashua built his fortune
Shashua made his name by turning computer vision research into automotive products. In 1995, he founded CogniTens, which was sold to Hexagon AB in 2007. In 1999, he launched Mobileye with Ziv Aviram and focused on driving assistance systems and autonomous driving technology. That company became the center of his business career, with a 2014 IPO and a 2017 sale to Intel that valued Mobileye at $15.3 billion.
He also built companies outside car technology. In 2010, Shashua and Aviram founded OrCam, which makes portable artificial vision devices for visually impaired people. In 2017, he cofounded AI21 Labs. He controls One Zero, a digital bank founded in 2019, and held a 63% stake as of March 2024. He also cofounded Mentee Robotics in 2022 and AAI Technologies in 2023, adding more equity tied to artificial intelligence and robotics.
Forbes net worth and key money moments
Forbes estimated Shashua's fortune at $1.4 billion in 2021. That reflected a career built on self-made wealth in automotive technology, with Mobileye as the main engine. His long run at Hebrew University and his other companies added to his profile, but the largest money event in the record was still Intel's 2017 purchase of Mobileye, which came after the company had already reached public markets in 2014.
The Forbes estimate later moved to $1.8 billion, and Forbes' real-time billionaires tracker listed him at $1.8 billion as of October 20, 2026. During that stretch, Mobileye went public again in 2022 with Shashua still serving as CEO. Another notable deal came in 2026, when Mobileye agreed to acquire Mentee Robotics for $900 million in cash and shares after Shashua had cofounded and chaired the company.
