The Ashkenazy Family – $4B
Ben Ashkenazy, the patriarch, started in real estate back when he was only seventeen years old. He originally dreamed of buying a place to open a fast food restaurant, but felt that what he found was very much below market value, and instead decided to lease it. During that process, he got inspired to start a venture own in real estate, which eventually became the successful Ashkenazy Acquisitions. The company’s portfolio is worth about twelve billion dollars, contains real estate transactions both domestically and globally, and with varied real estate ventures from commercial to residential to government-owned.
