Study reveals SA's wealthiest areas

It is a sin if you are stealing the blood sweat and tears of millions. Or in the case of a good part of this list selling cancer casuing skin lighteners to people who were conditioned to believe that their dark skin was a sin.
 
Sandhurst has some beautiful houses ... I don't like the ostentatious ones built with new money, just the more classic (and classy) old houses.

The old ones suck. I always feel lost and bored in them, and the sound of walking on those old wooden floors is highly annoying.
 
You agree that 25% of all personal wealth in SA should belong to 0.1% of the population?

They earned it, didn't they? And I'm sure that many of these private individuals do more to help uplift the poor than the government does.
 
I do not like the 2 and 3 storey mansions built in these wealthy suburbs at all.

If I could choose, I'd live in a smalllish renovated property like this one :love: . There 's just something about it that appeals to me much more than the whispers of money.

Eww that's the wooden floor thing I was talking about. I hate that echo as you walk on them, it makes the place feel kinda empty and haunted.

I think they skrewed someone over (either the tax payers, or customers) to get there. Most of these guys got some head start via government corruption or family contacts.

Regardless, I respect these guys for being 'successful', but 25% of the wealth to 0.1% is a big gap. There should be more 'successful' people - ie. More 'very rich' rather than a few 'mega rich'. This just shows how monopolistic SA is.

The exterior of that house is hideous. :wtf:

I presume you guys like those big modern mansions with chrome and glass everywhere? Now that is ewww.

I think many more of them married rich or inherited the money than those who got it through corrupt means.

I'm not so sure, I have no hard evidence but I would guess that if you don't have some kind of investment in SA, you would move your R250 000 000 to another country. Hell, I would.
