Meet the 21-Year-Old Building a Real Estate Empire Wall Street Can’t Ignore

CEO Times Contributor

A 21-year-old is disrupting luxury real estate with Owniful, letting anyone invest for just $20.

At only twenty one years old, Ofri Kauf is doing what few believed possible. He is making luxury real estate ownership accessible to anyone with twenty dollars and a smartphone. His platform, Owniful, is rapidly emerging as one of the most disruptive forces in modern real estate, an industry long dominated by gatekeepers, high barriers, and slow moving institutions.

For generations real estate has belonged to the wealthy and well connected. Kauf’s vision flips that structure entirely. With Owniful, everyday people can buy fractional shares of premium global properties, from Dubai penthouses to Miami villas, in a matter of seconds.

Owniful is not positioning itself as another investment app. It is positioning itself as the future of how people own real estate.

A 21-Year-Old Founder With a Mission

Kauf’s motivation is deeply personal. Growing up without financial advantages, real estate always felt like something far beyond reach. The system rewarded people who already had money and shut out those who did not. That frustration turned into obsession, and that obsession became Owniful.

“I did not come from money and real estate felt impossible for me to own,” Kauf says. “Once I realized the system could be redesigned, everything changed. Owniful exists to give people the chance I never had.”

This is not a founder following trends. This is a founder solving the exact problem he lived through.

A Platform Designed for the Next Generation of Investors

Owniful is built deliberately for Gen Z and millennials: simple, intuitive, cinematic, and transparent. The platform merges:

  • A beautifully simple and easy to use design interface
  • The accessibility of modern fintech
  • The trust of institutional real estate frameworks

Users can browse global properties, buy fractional shares starting at $20, view daily earnings, and track on-chain ownership, all within an interface designed to remove complexity, not add to it.

Instead of years-long lockups or opaque statements, Owniful gives investors:

  • Daily profit visibility
  • Transparent SPV-backed ownership
  • Audited property records
  • Secure KYC onboarding
  • Blockchain-based traceability

It’s real estate in a form younger generations can actually understand, and get excited about.

Why Owniful Stands Out in a Crowded Space

Most platforms in the fractional real estate category follow the same formula: high minimums, clunky design, and slow user growth.

Owniful breaks that mold in three key ways:

  1. A $20 Entry Point
    This single change opens the market to millions who were previously excluded.
  2. Institutional-Grade Compliance From Day One
    Every property is placed inside a fully audited SPV with on chain records, something most platforms implement years later, if ever.
  3. Viral, Community-Driven Growth
    A built-in UGC engine publishing hundreds of short form videos per day enables explosive cultural momentum. Owniful is not quietly entering the market. It is being talked about, shared, and discovered organically.

Combine all three, and you have a product built to scale faster than anything the traditional industry has ever prepared for.

Why Wall Street Can’t Ignore What’s Coming

Fractional ownership and tokenization represent one of the largest wealth-access shifts of this decade. But while institutional players are still testing frameworks, Owniful is already moving at full speed.

Kauf has effectively taken the most powerful wealth-building vehicle in the world, real estate, and put it in reach for the millions who’ve always been told to wait, save, and hope. That kind of democratization doesn’t just disrupt an industry. It rewrites it.

This is why Owniful poses a genuine threat to traditional investment gatekeepers: it opens the door too wide, too fast, for too many people.

The Future of Wealth-Building: Accessible, Global, and Instant

For the first time, a 21-year-old founder has built a platform allowing anyone, anywhere, to own a piece of the world’s most desirable real estate in minutes.

The same asset class that built empires for the wealthy is now being democratized for a new generation, one that values flexibility, transparency, and simplicity.

And according to Kauf, this is only the beginning.

“We’re building a world where real estate ownership is normal, not rare,” he says. “The next wave of wealth won’t come from Wall Street. It will come from platforms like Owniful.”
