Oppenheimer sold his family’s 40-percent ownership in De Beers, the world’s largest diamond miner, to mining corporation Anglo-American in 2012.
But he has assets in Africa, the United States, Asia, and Europe through London-based Stockdale Street and Johannesburg-based Tana Africa Capital, which recently sold its stake in Regina, Egypt’s second-largest pasta maker and main producer of durum wheat flour.
In addition, the Oppenheimer-managed fund acquired a beneficial ownership interest in Kensington Distillers & Vintners, a manufacturer, and distributor of alcoholic beverages, created in 2014 by an experienced team of alcoholic beverage specialists.
Cape Business News claimed that since the beginning of 2022, Oppenheimer’s net worth has climbed by $600 million, from $7.95 billion at the start of business to $8.55 billion.
