Idan Ofer is an Israeli billionaire businessman and philanthropist, the Founder and principal of Quantum Pacific Group, a major global holding company. His wealth is generational, tied to the Ofer family fortune (one of Israel's wealthiest), founded by his father, Sammy Ofer (d. 2011), a Romanian-born Israeli shipping magnate. Idan is the younger brother of Eyal Ofer.

Ofer grew up in Haifa, Israel. He served as deputy commander of a patrol boat in the Israeli Navy. He graduated from the University of Haifa with a B.Sc. in Economics and Shipping and later earned an MBA from the London Business School in the 1980s. This blend of naval service, technical knowledge, and financial training prepared him for global commerce.

Idan Ofer's career began by expanding the family shipping business in Hong Kong in the 1980s. He later founded the Quantum Pacific Group, his private holding company. His strategic vision centered on diversification into high-growth, high-capital sectors: he is the majority shareholder of the Israel Corporation and Kenon Holdings (listed on the NYSE and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange), focusing on shipping, energy, and mining.

His most visible diversification is in sports: he holds stakes in football clubs, including Atlético Madrid (Spain) and FC Famalicão (Portugal), leveraging the global appeal of professional sports. He is a major philanthropist, donating £25 million to the London Business School (the largest private donation in the school's history) and $15 million to the Israeli National Library. His wealth is secured by the colossal, long-term returns generated by his energy, shipping, and mining assets.

Idan Ofer is a major global philanthropist. His structural social impact is tied to his companies' role in global energy and commodity transport (shipping and mining) and his massive funding of education (LBS) and cultural institutions (Israeli National Library). His focus on clean energy (through Kenon Holdings) contributes to the global energy transition.

His career is a powerful narrative of a naval officer who leveraged inherited wealth and financial training to become a global titan of industry, while committing to large-scale, structural philanthropy.

Idan Ofer maintains the professional, composed style of a global financier and industrialist. His attire is consistently formal and high-quality, favoring tailored suits. His aesthetic reflects stability and confident authority, blending his military background with his mastery of complex global markets.

Residing in Monaco and London, his luxury is the immense security and financial reward derived from his multi-billion dollar fortune. His life is dedicated to strategic investment, energy infrastructure, and his commitment to philanthropy and international sports.
