Known in particular for their contribution to cancer research in Israel.

Perhaps the English brothers are relatively obscure in Israel, but they are very influential figures on the prestigious horseracing scene in the UK.

David and Simon Reuben got rich in the seventies and eighties for trading in metals. They continued the trend in the nineties when they entered the Russian market – and eventually became the leading foreign investors, and the third largest group of global metals market.

Both avoid public exposure. Their portfolio includes: The Wellington Pub Company, Metalloyd (metals), Metro Bank, Luup (E-Commerce) and many more. Their connection with the sport is due to their holdings in the Northern Racing Company – an operator of horseracing sites across the UK. The company also operates a golf course.
