The scale of their wealth

🏥

Health

The price of life

Let's compare Liora Ofer's fortune with the healthcare spending of a massive country

Liora Ofer could fund the entire healthcare system of DR Congo, with a population of over 105,800,000 people, for approximately 1.7 years.

But even if we compare their fortune with that of a rich country

On the other end, Liora Ofer could cover the healthcare spending of Luxembourg, considered the most heavily funded healthcare system in the world, for 0.7 years.

📚

Education

Buying the future

Let's also compare their fortune with education spending, first with a poor country

Liora Ofer could cover the total cost of Nigeria's education system, the most populous country in Africa with over 243,000,000 inhabitants, for 1.1 years.

And yes, we can also compare it with a rich country

But they couldn't just cover the cost of a poor country; Luxembourg is considered the country with the highest per capita investment in education in the world, and Liora Ofer could pay for it entirely for 1.5 years.

🔬

Research

The monopoly on progress

Coming full circle, we think it's also interesting to add another gigantic country

Liora Ofer could fully fund the state research budget of Pakistan, the fifth most populous country in the world with over 260,000,000 inhabitants, for 6.2 years.

And of course, the country that invests the most per capita worldwide

But even if we compare the total wealth of Liora Ofer with Israel, the country that invests the most per capita in research in the world, they could cover the total cost of the system for 0.1 years.

While billions of people struggle to access basic healthcare, education, and research, a single individual could fund entire national systems for centuries.

Gold

Everyday luxuries

Liora Ofer's fortune is equivalent to 25 tons of gold. It's hard to process, since we don't usually keep a handful of gold bars in our piggy banks.

A standard gold ring usually weighs between 4 and 7 grams. Let's say this one weighs 5 grams. It's usually 18 karats.

Based on today's gold price (excluding the jeweler's commission, shipping, or anything else), that ring would be worth $546.86.

Liora Ofer could buy 6,731,588 gold rings. That's a lot of fingers and way too many gifts!!

And if you're struggling to visualize that many rings, it would take 1 trucks to transport them. Although Liora Ofer will almost certainly have enough money left over to pay for the gas.

Biography

Liora Ofer chairs investment vehicle Ofer Investments, which was cofounded by her father Yuli (d. 2011) and uncle Sammy Ofer (d. 2011).

The company's largest asset is a controlling stake in publicly traded real estate firm Melisron.

In 2015, Liora won a years-long court battle with her brother Doron Ofer over their inheritance, which left her with nearly 52% of Ofer Investments.

Liora now owns 100% of the investment company after a conflict-of-interest law forced her cousin, Eyal, to divest, and she bought the remaining 15% from her brother in January 2023.

She and Eyal swapped assets, with Liora giving up her stake in Mizrahi Tefahot Bank in exchange for a greater share of Ofer.
