Anton Rupert: The Life of a Business Icon
A very favourable life of the tobacco magnate who became the richest man in South Africa.
Ebbe Dommisse traces Anton Rupert from a Stellenbosch garage to the Rembrandt and Richemont empires, built largely on cigarettes and later luxury goods, alongside his conservation work and his relations with the apartheid government. The portrait is admiring throughout, which readers should weigh, but the business history itself is substantial.

Ebbe Dommissse, Anton Rupert: The Life of a Business Icon is a very favorable biography of who was probably South Africa’s richest man, with cigarettes being the central part of his business empire.
