The Ashkenazy family has made a fortune via real estate. Ben Ashkenazy, the family patriarch, started out in real estate at the age of seventeen. Then a teenager, it was his dream to start a fast food joint in the Bronx. He decided it would be better to lease it when he thought the place he was considering was below market value. That was the time he got inspired to launch a real estate venture called Ashkenazy Acquisitions. It was successful and now boasts a portfolio worth about twelve billion dollars. It comes with real estate transactions globally and domestically.
