Living the American dream: A look at billionaires Patrice Motsepe’s lavish life cars, mansions and jets
He is that favourite South African billionaire we all love to hate, bringing Messi to South Africa to better the lives of citizens back home.
Patrice Motsepe is the darling of Mzansi. However, despite making all sorts of headlines with his charitable works, he has managed to live large with his wealth. He might not show it, but he lives the American dream capped with bling.
Patrice Motsepe’s academic qualifications
Despite learning a lot from his father regarding business education, Mostepe went on to further his studies in South Africa’s top universities. He holds a Law Degree from Witwatersrand, majoring in business law. The celebrated mining mogul also holds a Bachelor Of Arts Degree from the University Of Swaziland.
Business Empire and streams of income
He is a jack of all trades and a master of all. Patrice Mostepe went down in the history books when he became the first black man to own a mine in South Africa. He happens to be the owner of Rainbow Minerals.
In 2012 he was named South Africa’s wealthiest man. However, as of 2021, according to Statista, he was the third richest in South Africa with an estimated net worth of $2.9 billion, which amounts to R42.4 billion.

The million-rand mansion which boasts with the state of the art architecture and modern designer interiors, was bought in 2014 but has gone through several renovations.
A year later, he capped himself land for development worth R30 million in one of Cape Town’s property hot spots. Reports have it that he has since built a multi-million rand villa.
