The extraordinary life story of South African tycoon and philanthropist Dr Anton Rupert.
It is the story of a Karoo boy who grew up during the Depression, struggled to find enough money to study science, and then made good as a businessman - spectacularly so, reaching the Forbes list of the 500 wealthiest people worldwide. Unlike Harry Oppenheimer, another South African millionaire, Rupert was no heir and did not make his millions from mining. His Rembrandt group of manufacturers became known across the globe, owning brands like Cartier, Dunhill, Rothmans and Montblanc. Within a few decades a family dynasty was built, making the Ruperts, next to the Oppenheimers, the richest family in Africa.
But Rupert was driven by more than the mere pursuit of wealth. A life-long proponent of partnership and coexistence in justice, he put his passion and vast resources into community development, leading to frequent clashes with the political leadership of the day. He supported arts and culture, and conservation - both of buildings and of nature. One of his most ambitious projects, transfrontier parks, was a ground-breaking international innovation.
A compelling book based on extensive international research and many hours of conversation with Rupert, his family and people who know him well.
Anton Rupert A Biography eBook Ebbe Dommisse
A well written and thorough biography about a man not well known outside of South Africa. I picked up this book while doing research on some of Mr. Rupert's descendant companies i.e. Richemont and Remgro. The book covers at length his business empire which endures to this day, but also talks about his philanthropic and political activities which are much less well recognized. We can only wonder "what if" South Africa had pursued the transracial, partnership-based approach that Mr. Rupert advocated.Product details

Anton Rupert A Biography eBook Ebbe Dommisse Reviews
I am still enjoying and learning from each page as I am reading it.
A great read! Insightful, truthful and full of gems of wisdom. It goes against the grain as to how the Rupert’s are portrayed in public by the media and politicians and most importantly it goes against how all Afrikaners stood for apartheid. This was very informative in terms of shedding light on untaught aspects of our country’s history.
