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, Africas wealthiest family. Author and newspaperman Ebbe Dommisses 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.
