Vision & Mission

"To create a better world."

Throughout the years, I worked to bring the vision of peace in the world, through values-based business. I understood that if people would have financial freedom, it would contribute to their inner peace. If we build sustainably, it would bring peace to the planet. If we spark vitality in people, for a healthy, meaningful, and fulfilling life – this too will benefit people and the environment. And of course, an abundance of water and care towards the basic natural resources of us all.

This work and much more, was accomplished through the activities of several operational companies that were part of the Arison Group platform.

Our mission was realized through these companies and also through philanthropic endeavors that benefit people, economy, and the environment. Our mission continues, with new investments and ongoing philanthropic work aimed at creating added value for humanity.

In addition to all of my activities, I focus on giving inspiration, hope, and to resonate light and love.

Billionaire Shari Arison sells waterfront Bal Harbour estate for $41.5M

9K sf mansion was last asking $50M

Israeli-American businesswoman Shari Arison sold her waterfront estate in Bal Harbour for $41.5 million.

Arison, the daughter of the late Ted Arison, sold the 9,104-square-foot mansion at 276 Bal Bay Drive, property records show.

276 Bal Bay Drive (Lifestyle Production Group)

Arison is the wealthiest woman in Israel, according to Forbes, which pegs her net worth at $4.6 billion. She owns Arison Investments and was previously the controlling shareholder of Bank Hapoalim. She also founded the Ted Arison Family Foundation. Her older brother, Micky Arison, is chairman and CEO of Carnival Corp. and the owner of the Miami Heat. He is worth about $6.1 billion, according to Forbes. The Arisons’ father founded Carnival.

The nine-bedroom, 10-bathroom Bal Harbour estate was on the market with Oren Alexander of the Alexander Team at Douglas Elliman. It was most recently asking $50 million. Alexander declined to comment on the seller or the buyer, who he also represented.

The two-story mansion, with a guest house, a pool and dock, sits on more than an acre of land with 178 feet of bay frontage. It was built in 1977 and was expanded throughout the years.

Property records show Arison owned the home with her ex-husband Ofer Glazer, until he transferred full ownership to her in 2007.

The sale, which has not yet been recorded, marks one of the priciest residential sales in Bal Harbour. Last summer, investor Joseph Imbesi sold three adjacent properties on Bal Bay Drive, including a waterfront property at 200 Bal Bay Drive, on the site of the former yacht club, for $54.9 million . In a separate deal, Imbesi sold the house at 196 Bal Bay Drive and the lot next door at 192 Bal Bay Drive for $43 million to WeWork founder Adam Neumann .

Overall, residential sales have begun to slow in Miami-Dade County, though properties continue to trade in the ultra high-end sector.

Alexander said the latest Bal Harbour sale was one of six his team brokered in South Florida over the course of a week totaling $100 million, including two sales on Pine Tree Drive in Miami Beach and luxury condos in oceanfront buildings in Bal Harbour and Miami Beach.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
