Looking at the many names that have made the Forbes List of the world's wealthiest people, it is quite clear that South Africa is the home of many rich people. According to a Mail & Guardian article about the widening gap between the rich and the poor in the country, "two-thirds of South Africa's wealth is held by the top 1%, and about 90% is held by the top 10%." The publication further reported that the number of billionaires in Africa has risen from 8 billionaires in 2010 to 25 billionaires in 2017. It's been said that finding South Africa's richest people is tricky as some of these millionaires and billionaires have made their fortune overseas hence, they sometimes go unnoticed in these millionaire/billionaire lists.

There is a recently updated list that has incorporated data from internationally reliable sources such as Forbes, UK's Sunday Times Rich List and Entrepreneur Mag that has given us a detailed list of South Africa's billionaires.
