Christo Wiese

Christo Wiese – once the owner of a diamond mine, a wine farm and the most expensive house in Cape Town. Former chairman of South Africa’s largest retailer, director of the Reserve Bank and the richest man in the country. Over the course of 50 years these calculated risks paid off, making him one of the most successful businessmen of his generation – until he encountered the furniture group Steinhoff, and things went awry.
