Liora Ofer Net Worth

Liora Ofer has an estimated net worth of $3.2 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Liora Ofer profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.1 billion in 2018.

Liora Ofer is an Israeli businesswoman who chairs Ofer Investments and Melisron. She started working with her father at Ofer Investments at age 20. The company was founded in 1957 by her father, Yuli Ofer, and her uncle, Sammy Ofer. She later took senior roles at Melisron, becoming director and vice chairperson in 2007 and chairperson of the board in 2008.

Her wealth is tied to investments, especially real estate. Melisron is the largest asset inside Ofer Investments, and it holds a controlling stake in the publicly traded company. Under her leadership, Melisron grew into one of Israel’s largest real estate companies. Its deals included 25 shopping malls from British Israel Investments Ltd and Ramat Aviv mall. She also strengthened her position in Ofer Investments through inheritance-related changes and later asset swaps.

How Liora Ofer makes money

Ofer’s fortune comes from holdings tied to Ofer Investments, the investment company she chairs. The business was cofounded by her father and uncle, and its biggest asset is a controlling stake in Melisron. She is also chairperson of Melisron, linking her wealth closely to the real estate company’s value. Her career there moved step by step, from general manager of Coral Beach Eilat Ltd. in 1995 to leadership roles at Melisron in 2007 and 2008.

Her ownership position grew over time. In 2015, she won a long court battle with her brother, Doron Ofer, over their inheritance, leaving her with nearly 52% of Ofer Investments. She later exchanged assets with her cousin Eyal, giving up her stake in Mizrahi Tefahot Bank for a larger share of Ofer. After a conflict-of-interest law pushed Eyal to divest, she bought the remaining 15% from her brother in January 2023 and now owns 100%.

Forbes net worth update

Forbes has tracked Ofer’s wealth for years as her holdings changed. Its World’s Billionaires List estimated her fortune at $1.1 billion in 2018 and again in 2019. It then rose to $1.2 billion in 2021 and $1.8 billion in 2022. In 2023, Forbes put her at $1.6 billion. Those shifts line up with the value of her investment company and its large real estate stake.

More recently, Forbes raised its estimate to $1.9 billion in 2024, then $2.1 billion in 2025, and $3.4 billion in 2026 on the annual list. Forbes currently shows $3.2 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026. That later period also followed her move to full ownership of Ofer Investments after the January 2023 purchase of the remaining 15% from her brother.
