Markus Jooste’s will

I

After Markus Jooste’s passing, his wife finds herself in possession of an intriguing mix of assets: three firearms, eight vehicles, various artworks, two policies, a retirement annuity, and nearly R74,000 in cash. However, the exact allocation of these assets remains uncertain.

The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) asserts its legal right to recover a substantial fine of R475 million from Jooste’s estate. This fine was levied due to the publication of misleading financial statements related to Steinhoff—ironically, just days before Jooste’s demise. Meanwhile, the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has already taken action by freezing some of the assets listed in Jooste’s will. The intricate interplay of wealth, legality, and legacy unfolds as Jooste’s estate faces scrutiny and division.

Markus Johannes Jooste (January 22, 1961 – March 21, 2024) was a prominent South African entrepreneur who served as the Chief Executive Officer of Steinhoff International. Known for his passion for horse breeding, he garnered attention in 2016 for being among Africa’s wealthiest individuals, with an estimated net worth of $400 million.
