#2 Africa's 40 Richest
South African luxury goods tycoon and South Africa's richest man, Johann Rupert owes his fortune to Swiss-based Compagnie Financiere Richemont, which owns brands including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Montblanc. In September the avid golfer spent $4 million on a buffalo bull, used for breeding buffalo for private game reserves. It's an investment that he hopes will pay for itself through sales of its offspring. His Anthonij Rupert Wines, named after his brother, started being sold in the United States in late 2012.
