Ofer is one of two sons of shipping magnate Sammy Ofer, who died in 2011 and was once Israel's richest man.
The elder Ofer brother has expanded these holdings significantly. Through Zodiac Group, his shipping company, he now owns and operates roughly 200 ships.
His Global Holdings real estate portfolio spans 120 properties around the world, including 15 Central Park West and 50 United Nations Plaza in Manhattan, and Vogue House in London.

He and his family also started the Eyal & Marilyn Ofer Family Foundation, which supports education, healthcare and the arts.
Perspective on their fortune
Gold
Everyday luxury
A Eyal Ofer's fortune is equivalent to 236 of gold, but this may be difficult to value, as we don't usually have a handful of gold bars in our piggy bank.
A standard gold ring typically weighs between 4 and 7 grams. Let's say this one weighs 5 grams. It's usually 18k gold.
Based on today's gold price (not taking into account the jeweler's fee, shipping, or anything else), that gold ring would be worth $556.3
Eyal Ofer could buy 62,951,589 gold rings. That's a lot of fingers and a lot of gifts!!
And if the number of rings is difficult to visualize, all these rings would need 11 trucks to transport them, But we can be almost certain that Eyal Ofer will have enough left over to pay for the gas for those trucks.
Health
The price of life
Let's compare Eyal Ofer's fortune with the healthcare spending of a huge country
Eyal Ofer could fund the entire healthcare system of DR Congo with a population of over 105,800,000 of inhabitants for approximately 15.8 years.
But even if we compare their fortune to that of a rich country
At the other extreme, Eyal Ofer could cover the health expenditure of Luxembourg, considered the world's most heavily invested health system, for 7.0 years
Education
Buying the future
Lowest education spending
Eyal Ofer could assume the entire cost of the education system of Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, with more than 243,000,000 inhabitants for 10.3 years.
Highest education spending
But not only could he assume the cost of a poor country, Luxembourg is considered the country with the highest per capita investment in education in the world, Eyal Ofer could pay for it in full for 14.0 years.
Research
The monopoly of progress
Lowest research spending
Eyal Ofer could fully fund the state research budget of Pakistan, the fifth most populous country in the world with more than 260,000,000 of inhabitants, for 59.0 years.
Highest research spending
But even if we compare the total wealth of Eyal Ofer with Israel, the country that currently invests the most per capita in research in the world, it could assume the total cost of the system for 1.3 years.
