After her father passed away, she took over the 96 million stock inheritance from Ted Arison, worth approximately US$3.6 billion. At the same time, as the chairman of the Israeli Arison Holding Group, she is still the most powerful in Israel. Entrepreneur: serves as the president of Israel's largest bank Hapoal Alim Bank, the president of Israel's largest construction company House Construction Holdings, and controls the equity of Israel's largest private communications company EUROCOM49... Sherry Arison's father Ted Arison was born in Israel to a family of small boat owners. His father, like many early 20th-century Israeli businessmen, ran his small business indifferently. It was not until the age of 16 that Ted entered the American University in Beirut, Lebanon, to study mechanics with the support of his father. In 1939, World War II broke out, and the entire Jewish nation was at the center of the storm. Germany launched a bloody anti-Semitic wave. During this period, Ted Arison resolutely interrupted his studies to join the British Army and went to the battlefields in Italy and Germany. After World War II, the Jews got a chance for peace, and as the only boy in the family, Ted Arison took over his father's shipping business after returning from the war. The war has never been far away from the Jews. Just two years after taking off his military uniform, on May 15, 1948, the first Middle East war began again. Ted Arison, who had the boiling blood of the Jews, joined the Israeli army. , participated in this famous war against almost the entire Arab world. After retiring after the victory over Israel in 1949, he took over his father's business again and began a real business career. But the experience of two wars made this Jew's blood begin to burn with a spirit of courage and adventure. In early 1950, Ted Arison suddenly sold the Tisengoff Shipping Company, founded by his father, to ZIM Cruise Lines. His ships began flying the flags of Panama and Honduras to transport cargo for ZIM Cruise Lines. Businessmen become collaborators with others. After the Korean War, the world's major markets were in an extremely sluggish period. Ted, who was trying to seek change, knew that if he was purely engaged in the shipping industry, there would be no room for development, so he once again sold off his shipping company in Israel and joined forces with the then Many Jews immigrated to the United States. The business that was almost built was sold for cash. In the 12 years starting from 1954, Ted Arison took root in the United States. He relied on his unique Jewish business ability and the wealth accumulated before in the United States to successively create air cargo companies and trading companies. It is said that one of the companies Its market value even reached US$10 million. In 1966, Ted Arison suddenly made another surprising decision. He sold the company again and received a cash income. No one knows why he made such a choice. In fact, Ted Arison later said that it was because he found an opportunity. He had always hoped to return to the shipping industry and expand his career at sea. The Jewish adventurous spirit once again supported him, and he formed a partnership with Norwegian Knut Kloster to form the Norwegian-Caribbean Yachting Company. With the funds from selling the company, Ted helped Kloster bring the fleet he had just formed in Europe into the United States. His method of introducing other partners' ships to new markets by forming new companies with each other gained unprecedented success. The success not only saved a huge amount of money for yacht purchase, but also quickly gained scale. After that, Ted designed many cooperation models, which once became a model for the union of American and European yacht industry companies. In 1972, Ted and Closter decided to split the business. After a series of financing and mortgages, Ted founded Carnival Yacht Company, which belonged entirely to him. This yacht company later became the largest yacht group in the world. At the same time, he also began to get involved in the sports industry, leading a basketball team that was slightly famous in Miami to compete in Florida. This team was the Miami Heat that became famous in 2004 for acquiring O'Neal in one fell swoop. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Arison family's business developed steadily.
In 1990, Ted Arison also founded two outstanding yacht branches, Holland America and Wind Star, and owns 15 ultra-luxury yachts. At this point, Ted has laid the foundation for the development of the Arison family in the shipping industry and basketball world. After accumulating a large amount of wealth, the elderly Ted announced his retirement from the position of president of the Carnival Company. This stage was also a relatively beautiful stage in the Middle East. Peace seemed within reach, and countless Jews scattered in other countries began to have peace. Ted Arison is one of those people who dreams of returning to his homeland. In 1992, he returned to Israel with Sheri, settled in Tel Aviv after restoring Israeli citizenship, and started a new life there that was completely different from the United States. The Jews will never forget this land. Ted Arison has lived the life he has been looking forward to for decades in Israel. He is passionate about various charities, serves as the chairman of multiple charitable organizations, and is the chairman of Sinai Medical Center and many others. One of the founders of the medical school. Although philanthropic contributions in the name of corporate Israel were not as common as in the United States, Ted persisted until his death.
On the other hand, after returning to Israel, Ted Arison’s business began to be divided into two. Mitch Arison, the eldest son in the United States, was in charge of the family’s Carnival Group and inherited his father’s business in the Miami Heat. The majority shareholder status of the team. In Israel, he reorganized Arison Investment Company, which had businesses other than yachts and basketball clubs, and handed them over to Sherry Arison. Her daughter lived up to her expectations, and Cheri Arison expanded Arison Investments in Israel through involvement in the financial and construction industries. Beginning in September 1997, Sherry Arison competed to acquire Israel's largest bank, Hapo al-Alim Bank, and later became the president of this bank, which is well-known among Jews. At the same time, Sherry Arison, as the president of Arison Investment Company, also serves as the chairman of Home Construction Holdings, Israel's largest construction company, and the chairman of the Ted Arison Foundation with a capital of 500 million US dollars. Through the sale of the business three times in the early years and the bold spin-off of the business after returning to Israel, the wealth of the Arison family, like many Jews of the period such as Abu and Soros, began to expand rapidly and affected almost the entire Israel. Fortune should never fight the media. In the early 1990s, Ted Arison split the Arison family's business in half because of his emigration. In 1999, Ted Arison's death divided Sherry Arison's world into two halves. Two stages. Sherry Arison was born in New York in 1957. Although she is an Israeli national, she was a wealthy girl who grew up in the United States. Cheri Arison studied hospitality management at the University of Florida. She worked in the marketing department of Carnival Corporation for several years and was interested in entering management, but her father did not support her desire. In 1979, Ted made his son Mickey the general manager of Carnival Group. In order to comfort Sheri Arison, he let 21-year-old Sheri Arison join the company's board of directors, but did not give her real power. But as mentioned before, Sherry Arison’s business ability should not be underestimated. Since becoming the chairman of Arison Holdings Group, she has fully realized that the business situation in Israel is very different from that in the United States. Whether the company is charitable or not largely depends on It determines whether the company will develop smoothly in this country in the future. Therefore, under her suggestion, the Arison family established a family foundation as a tool to gain trust in society. This move was generally praised by the media. Before 1999, Sheri Arison, who had been fighting in the business world for many years, seemed to have no business air. As a well-known and richest woman in Asia, Sheri Arison had to often appear in various public events. But when facing the media, she still often appears shy and at a loss. It seems that under the care of her old father, Sherri Arison has become the pride of all Israeli women. But soon after Ted's death, Cheri Arison's life lost its peace. Business mistakes, divorce, kidnapping, tax evasion... pushed Sherry Arison completely into the trough of life.
In 2002, the conflict between Israel and Palestine intensified, and the security situation and economic situation were on the verge of getting out of control.
The scandal of Sheri's tax evasion of US$30 million has been heated up by the Israeli media again. Sherry Arison is mired in a lot of trouble and lawsuits. She repeatedly asked the media to show a minimum of respect, but the responses she received were ridicule and even abuse from Israeli public opinion. However, the Jerusalem Post defended Sheri Arison, arguing that she is also an ordinary citizen and has the right to leave Israel and live in another country. Sherri Arison was so rich that she could have had a life that many people could not dream of, but she chose to return to her country with good wishes. Now she sadly leaves Israel feeling abandoned, ridiculed and slandered.
These unfair treatments were imposed on her by our society and the media. Sherri Arison's departure is a great loss to everyone. In addition, patriotism should not be so narrow, and in today's global economic integration trend, if Sherri Arison thinks that her career is better suited to be carried out in Florida rather than Israel, she should leave. Opposing the views of "Jerusalem Post" is "Ha'aretz". The newspaper's columnist retorted that if Rockefeller was an American conglomerate giant, would he leave the United States just because of the abuse of some tabloids and withdraw all Charitable donation? In the United States, the media also began to mock Arison. When she returned to Miami and held a press conference to explain her reasons for leaving Israel, a Miami media ridiculed Sheri Arison and said: Actually, I am not particularly interested in Sheri Arison, but there are three things that made her I can't figure it out. First of all, I would like to advise Sherri Arison, why do you always look so disheveled when you appear in public places? Sherry Arison, you have so much money in the bank, why don't you spend some money on a haircut and some clothes that fit you better? Secondly, since you are tired of being followed by the media, why do you have to work so hard and hold a press conference when you come back this time? Doesn't this give others another chance to write a good manuscript? Why haven't you learned your lesson this time and behaved more quietly? Finally, you once said, '30 million to 50 million US dollars is indeed a large number, but it is nothing compared to the amount I have donated to charity. 'Yes, 50 million may seem small to you, but for Israel's huge unemployed and impoverished class, it is a big number. If you don't believe it, just ask them if they agree with you. ………
In June 2004, Sherry issued a statement saying that after leaving Israel for a period of time, she felt that Israel was what she liked most, and she was willing to return to live in Israel and reach a compromise with the Israeli tax authorities. , and continues the Arison family’s charitable giving. But at this point, the Israeli media began to be uncooperative at all. Apart from reporting the simple news of Sheri's return, they seemed to have lost all interest in her - they no longer considered her the richest man in the country. . And who would be interested in paying attention to someone who has nothing to do with him? Cheri Arison: Will her country forgive her? For Arison, perhaps wealth is not the main issue, but the understanding of his motherland. In 2004, the British "Financial Times" reported that Carnival Chief Operating Officer Howard Frank said that in 2004 alone, Carnival's third fiscal quarter revenue was US$3.2 billion and net profit was US$1.025 billion, which was 2.5% higher than the revenue of US$734 million in the same period last year. Net profit of US$100 million increased significantly, setting a record for the best financial quarter. With the strong increase in holiday travel patterns, not only did the number of Carnival tourists increase by 17% compared with last year, but bookings were also made earlier than in previous years. Therefore, the group plans to add 8 more cruise ships by December 2006. These tankers will continue to serve Sherry· Arison creates wealth. Sheri clearly cares more about Israel and what Israelis think. In the world, the Jewish attitude towards wealth is so distinct, and the sense of urgency and belonging to the motherland of 1800 years ago is so strong.
But Sherry chose to punish each other with such a country, such a group of people who are eager to return to the motherland and have great enthusiasm for the motherland. After she inadvertently hurt the feelings of many Israeli Jews, how can she deal with these two aspects now? To mend the huge and deep scars that have appeared? What's more, after it took just 20 years to get rid of the problems of a small market, lack of resources, and a weak economic foundation, and became one of the developed countries, Israel's attitude towards the rich is also different - after all, she does not think that a super rich person You can come and solve your own country’s problems. I would rather commit political suicide than offend Israel. Former U.S. President Carter once ridiculed the embarrassment he encountered after taking actions that were not conducive to Israel on the Palestinian issue. Now, will hard-line Israel and its media forgive this child spoiled by wealth?
