According to the Forbes report of January 2020, the director of South Africa-based Capitec Bank, Michiel Le Roux has an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion, making him among the world’s richest men.
Capitec Bank is ‘the best bank because it has very high financial ratios, well developed qualitative criteria, and also concentrates on serving its customers’ needs,’ reads the report in part.

Capitec was established in 1997 through the acquisition of small scale lending businesses such as Smartfin and FinAid by the founding entity, PSG, an autonomous financial services group. It became legal in 2001 following its registration.

So revered is he in the banking industry that in honor of his evolutionary renewal of the banking industry in South Africa, the University of Stellenbosch gave him an honorary doctorate degree of Commerce (DComm) back in 2015.

The South African billionaire did not build his empire solely in the banking sector, he worked with Distillers Corp for a considerable spell before he ventured into the banking enterprise.
Starting a business in good times is always very dangerous because you will think business is easy when the wind is blowing from behind and the sailing is smooth. When you start with the wind blowing from ahead, then you know business is tough and you grow – Le Roux.
