The Alexander brothers' sex-trafficking trial has revealed a lesser-known fourth sibling: Niv Alexander, 45, who has been quietly supporting his younger brothers Tal, Alon and Oren at the Manhattan federal courthouse. Unlike his high-profile siblings, Niv has kept a low profile and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
Niv is married to Cassie Arison, an heiress to the Carnival Cruise empire and daughter of Shari Arison, Israel's richest woman with a net worth exceeding $5 billion. The couple splits their time between a $13 million SoHo apartment and a $5.4 million mansion in Bedford, New York.
Niv describes himself as a 'contrarian investor type' on LinkedIn and serves on the board of the Jerusalem Foundation. He previously worked as a journalist for Yedioth Ahronoth and at the private security company founded by his parents in Miami.
In 2023, Niv sued the Bedford Planning Board and Verizon to block a 130-foot cell tower near his mansion, calling the property a 'haven for wildlife' and a place of 'peace and solitude.' His SoHo apartment was featured in Architectural Digest in 2022.
Niv and his wife are regulars on the philanthropic circuit, attending fundraisers and gallery events. Arison founded the magazine As Promised and serves on several boards, including The Jewish Museum.
