The new, updated edition of the bestselling biography of African millionaire Anton Rupert. Rupert was born during the Depression in the modest Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet. Yet his Rembrandt Group would gain international renown with glittering brands like Cartier, Dunhill and Rothmans. A family dynasty was built up within a few decades, making the Ruperts, next to the Oppenheimers, Africa's wealthiest family. Author and newspaperman Ebbe Dommisse's extensive international research and in-depth interviews of Rupert, his family and those who knew him well, make for an inspirational portrait of an enigmatic man. Now in soft cover with additional information on his death, the details of his will, and what Mbeki and Mandela had said about this local legend.
