Nathan Kirsh, the reclusive 94-year-old Eswatini/South African billionaire, is about to become significantly wealthier. His food supply wholesale giant, Jetro Restaurant Depot, is being sold to food distribution multinational Sysco at a valuation of $29.1 billion, a deal that adds at least $10 billion to Kirsh's net worth and vaults him into the ranks of the world's 200 richest people.
