As of June 2021, the richest people in South Africa, third richest in the African continent, and 308th in the world were Nicky Oppenheimer and his family, with a net worth of eight billion U.S. dollars.

Over a century in the diamond market comes to an end
In late 2011, Nicky Oppenheimer and his family sold their stake in the De Beers company to the Anglo-American group which accounted for 40 percent bidding farewell to more than a century of control over the world’s diamond market. In 2010, De Beers produced 33 million carats of diamond generating 5.1 billion U.S. dollars in revenues, with their closest rivals being Alrosa with 1.8 billion U.S. dollars less. The company still operates, and its mines are mainly located in Botswana, Canada, Namibia, and South Africa.
Where does the wealth reside in the continent?
The three largest economies in the continent in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), namely Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa saw the highest concentration of private wealth in the continent, with South Africa ranking first when it came to private wealth. In fact, out of Africa’s 20 wealthiest families and individuals, 14 of them were from these economies. Since 2010, the number of high net worth individuals in the continent fluctuated peaking at 150 individuals in 2010 and reaching its lowest in 2020 at 125. High net worth individuals are people whose net assets exceed one million U.S. dollars. On the other hand, South Africa suffered from severe income inequality ranking as the most unequal country in the world with a Gini coefficient
