Liora Ofer was born in Haifa, Israel, where she studied at the Hebrew Reali School.[citation needed] At the age of 20, she began working with her father, the late Israeli billionaire Yuli Ofer, at Ofer Investments, which he founded in 1957 together with his brother, Sammy Ofer.
In 1995, Ofer was appointed general manager of Coral Beach Eilat Ltd. and in 2007 as the director and vice chairperson of Melisron. In 2008, she was named chairperson of the company's board of directors. Under Ofer's leadership, Melisron became one of Israel's largest real estate companies. Its acquisitions included 25 shopping malls from British Israel Investments Ltd and Ramat Aviv mall.[4]
In 2015, Ofer won a court battle with her brother Doron over their inheritance, which left her with a 52% controlling stake in Ofer Investments.[5]
