Rami Levy Reveals Personal Net Worth of $1.6 Billion

Israeli businessman Rami Levy, founder of the Rami Levy supermarket chain, disclosed in a television interview that his personal net worth is approximately six billion shekels, equivalent to about $1.6 billion USD. Speaking with Omri Asnaheim on Reshet 13, Levy addressed the question of whether wealth changes a person, stating that despite his fortune, he feels equal to others in social situations. "When I go to a restaurant with my friends, I have six billion and they don't, and we can all pay for the restaurant. We feel equal," he explained.

Levy also revealed that he struggles with dyslexia, which affects his ability to read and write. He mentioned that he does not read books, but has them read to him by his wife or others nearby. While he can read short texts, such as newspaper articles, longer documents present a significant challenge. Levy also explained his use of an older, non-smart phone, citing a desire to avoid the time-consuming distractions of a smartphone, which he believes would occupy too much of his life due to his curious nature.
