  • Rami Levy's net worth is estimated at six billion shekels.
  • He maintains a simple lifestyle despite his vast wealth.
  • Levy uses a basic Nokia phone, not a smartphone.
  • He believes wealth doesn't alter shared experiences with friends.

Israeli businessman and retailer Rami Levy disclosed details about his personal wealth and modest lifestyle during an appearance on the program "Asanaheim" on Channel 13. When asked about his net worth, Levy initially responded with a smile, stating he is worth "many, let's say a few billion." He later specified his fortune to be approximately six billion shekels.

Despite his considerable wealth, Levy emphasized that his lifestyle has remained simple and unchanged. He illustrated this by explaining that when dining out with friends, his financial standing doesn't alter the shared experience. "In the end, you and I can do the same thing," Levy told host Amir Asanaheim. "When I go to a restaurant with friends, I have six billion and they don't, and we can both pay for the restaurant. We feel equal and everything is fine."

During the interview, it was noted that Levy does not use an advanced smartphone, opting instead for a basic Nokia phone. "It's a great phone, that's not the problem," Levy commented, adding that his device does not have WhatsApp or photos.
