The South African billionaire sold his family’s 40 per cent stake in De Beers, the world’s biggest diamond producer, to mining company Anglo American in 2012 for $5.2 billion in cash.
He now owns an estimated 1% stake in Anglo American, which his grandfather founded in 1917.
Oppenheimer maintains private equity investments in Africa, Asia, the U.S. and Europe through London-based Stockdale Street and Johannesburg-based Tana Africa Capital, according to Bloomberg.
The 72-year-old whose net worth is $7.7 billion is already searching for new investments.
