A businessman who once lost control of one of South Africa's biggest retail empires has now pulled off one of the largest comeback stories in global business.
South African-born billionaire Nathan Natie Kirsh has officially overtaken luxury goods magnate Johann Rupert on the rich list after the sale of his US-based Jetro Restaurant Depot business for a staggering 29.1 billion, roughly R484 billion, as per Business Tech .
For many South Africans, Kirsh's name may not carry the same public profile as Rupert, Patrice Motsepe or Nicky Oppenheimer, but his story stretches deep into the country's business history.
