South Africa’s richest man Johann Rupert came a distant second at 213th position, having lost over $1 billion since the Ukraine-Russia conflict began. Due to the market jitters, shares in luxury goods markets have fallen drastically, with the latest figures estimating Rupert’s net worth at $9.8 billion, from $11.93 billion at the start of business in 2022.

Nicky Oppenheimer came third with an $8.75 billion valuation and 246th ranking globally, while Natie Kirsh, in 272nd position, was the fourth African on the list. He is worth $8.24 billion
