Ofer Family
One of the largest Israeli-origin business families globally, combined net worth roughly £20–25 billion. Idan Ofer branch controls ICL Group, Mizrahi Tefahot Bank, Eastern Pacific Shipping, and Atlético Madrid. Eyal Ofer branch controls Zodiac Maritime and Global Holdings.
The Ofer Family is one of the largest Israeli-origin business families in the world, with an estimated combined net worth in the £20–25 billion range. The family's commercial roots run through Israeli shipping, real estate, energy, and chemicals, anchored historically by patriarchs Sammy and Yuli Ofer.
The contemporary leadership splits into two branches. The Idan Ofer branch controls the Quantum Pacific holding through which Idan owns roughly 46% of ICL Group (the Dead Sea chemicals position), a controlling stake in Mizrahi Tefahot Bank, the Eastern Pacific Shipping fleet, Pacific Drilling, and Atlético Madrid Football Club. The Eyal Ofer branch controls Zodiac Maritime (one of the largest non-state shipping fleets in the world), Global Holdings (Manhattan real estate including 50 United Nations Plaza), and the Eyal Ofer Family Office.
The Ofer architecture is the canonical Israeli-origin global family fortune — a structure that operates across five countries, multiple industries, and both branches of inheritance simultaneously.
