S haron Azrieli is a Canadian billionaire heiress, philanthropist, and accomplished opera singer. She is one of the three children of the late David Azrieli, a legendary Canadian real estate tycoon who founded the Azrieli Group. Her father, a Holocaust survivor, built a massive property empire in both Canada and Israel, consisting mainly of shopping malls and office towers. Upon his death in 2014, his fortune and his controlling stake in the publicly traded Azrieli Group were passed down to his children.

While her sister Danna serves as the chair of the Azrieli Group, Sharon has pursued a distinguished career in the arts as a professional soprano. She has performed with opera companies and orchestras around the world and has also worked as a director and producer. Despite her artistic focus, she remains a major shareholder in the family's real estate empire. She is also deeply involved in the family's extensive philanthropic work through the Azrieli Foundation, one of Canada's largest charitable foundations, which supports initiatives in education, science, and the arts.
