Yitzhak Tshuva, an Israeli billionaire, has a net worth of $3.4 billion.
The chairman of El-Ad Group, a property company with buildings primarily in America and Canada, is Yitzhak Tshuva.
In July 2012, he sold his 60% stake in Manhattan’s crown jewel, the Crown Jewel, and nearby retail space for $675 million.
Tshuva owns both the real estate development conglomerate in Israel and the energy conglomerate, Delek Group, which is also based in Israel.
Tshuva’s story started off as a fairy tale in Netanya, where he lived in a single room with his poor family of 11 for a short time. However, as he became a contractor and earned a tidy fortune in the construction boom that occurred during the 1980s and early 90’s, Tshuva’s life became more colorful and prosperous.
His life took a positive turn in 1998 after he orchestrated a hostile takeover of Delek, the second-largest oil and gas corporation in Israel.
Tshuva, who was once impoverished, established a fund at Delek that provides scholarships to 400 Israeli university students on a yearly basis.
In March 2013, Tshuva was ranked as the 8th wealthiest individual in Israel.
He is the father of five children in his marriage.
