Anton Rupert, tycoon and philanthropist, was a Karoo boy who grew up during the Depression. Despite this, his Rembrandt Group eventually became world famous, with brands such as Cartier, Dunhill, Rothmans and Montblanc. Within decades a family dynasty was built and the Ruperts, next to the Oppenheimers, were the richest family in Africa.
Author and journalist Ebbe Dommisse did extensive research and had many in-depth conversations with Rupert, his family and people the world over who knew him. The result is this fascinating book about a South African legend.
