Comes from a family of businessmen

Born on June 1, 1950, the 73-year-old comes from a lineage of businessmen, and is the eldest son of renowned business tycoon, Anton Rupert, and his wife, Hurberte. His father launched Rembrandt Group Limited in the 1940s. In 1998, the company split into two entities called Remgro, with interests in banking, financial services, glass, medical services, mining, petroleum, packaging, beverage, food, and personal care products, and Richemont, with a group of Swiss Luxury companies.
