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.
