Sol Kerzner

As Donald Trump is to America, Kerzner was to South Africa. He was the face of a casino and hotel empire, as he founded both of South Africa’s largest hotel groups. He was also the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Kerzner International. His estimated net worth was north of $600 million built over more than 45 years in business.

He was known to rack up a ton of mileage on his jet, reportedly flying 158 hours in a single month. However, his private jet wasn’t big enough for his 50th birthday party. For that, he had a plane that took 150 of his friends to his hotel and casino in Mauritius.
