Miriam Adelson, once the richest Israeli, has lost significant ground in Forbes’ global billionaire ranking. She dropped below the $30 billion mark due to recent losses, ending the week with an estimated net worth of $27.5 billion, placing her 66th globally. Eyal Ofer, who has been closing the gap with Adelson, is now worth an estimated $25.8 billion, placing him 76th globally. His younger brother, Idan Ofer, saw his fortune dip to $17.1 billion, placing him 106th on the list. Other notable billionaires in Israel who saw their wealth decline this week include Roman Abramovich (9.9 billion, 244th globally), and the brothers Dimitri and Igor Buchman, whose combined wealth dropped to $9 billion, placing them 284th on the list. The ranking reflects the fluctuating nature of the global market, with even some of the world’s richest individuals experiencing losses.
