The multimillion-dollar drop in his net worth can be attributed to the performance of his 9.14-percent stake in Richemont.
The majority of Rupert’s fortune stems from his stake in Richemont.
This statement comes nearly a week after Richemont reported a double-digit increase in sales in Q1 2023.
The increase in Rupert’s net worth follows a surge in Richemont shares from $10 on July 15 to $11 today.
Despite the strong performance, Richemont shares have fallen 5.7 percent since this morning.
However, Rupert still remains South Africa’s second-richest man.
Rupert is now ranked 214th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Oppenheimer’s net worth is estimated to be $8.55 billion as of press time.
Richemont sales reached an all-time high of €19.2 billion in 2022.
The deal will give global entrepreneurs and startups the opportunity to showcase their ideas and deploy innovative solutions.
Despite a $999-million plunge in his net worth, Rupert remains South Africa’s richest man and one of Africa’s wealthiest billionaires.
The billionaire has lost more than $286 million in a single day.
Rupert’s net worth has dropped by more than $1.8 billion this year.
Rupert’s net worth is valued at $11.7 billion, making him the 179th richest man in the world and the second-wealthiest man in Africa.
A $10,000 investment in Richemont on Dec. 31 2020 is worth $18,372 today.
Richemont recently disclosed that it is in talks to sell off a majority stake in the loss-making online retailer YNAP.
