Ami Luttwak, one of the four founders and the chief technology officer of Wiz, has purchased 3.5 dunams of land in Binyamina for an estimated NIS 28 million (approximately $9 million), Calcalist has learned.
The land, located on Gadna Street and adjacent to the Binyamina Winery, was acquired in two separate transactions from two veteran families who had lived in the town for decades. In the first transaction, Luttwak purchased the northern portion of the area bordering the winery, approximately 2.5 dunams, on which two old houses currently stand. In the second transaction, he acquired an adjacent plot of roughly one dunam, which also includes a residential structure.
Luttwak, 42, has completed two major exits to date. The first came in 2015, when Adallom, a company he co-founded with his Wiz partners, was sold to Microsoft for $320 million. At the time, estimates suggested that each of the company’s founders earned approximately $25 million before taxes from the deal.
The second exit, announced in 2025, marked a dramatic shift in scale for the Israeli technology industry, when Wiz agreed to be acquired by Google for $32 billion in cash. The transaction has not yet been completed, but if it closes as planned, estimates suggest that each of Wiz’s founders could receive roughly $3 billion.
Binyamina is a rural community with a diverse population. The plots acquired by Luttwak are located on a small street west of the railway tracks, where many residents have not yet exercised the full building rights available on their land. Due to the size of the street and the unusually large plots, the parcels purchased by Luttwak account for roughly half of it.
Ami Luttwak did not respond to a request for comment.
