South African magnate hopes there will be bidder in auction who prefers 1,993 rare creatures to a superyacht
Wanted: an animal-loving billionaire who might consider buying 1,993 threatened white rhinos instead of a new superyacht or a Picasso, or a Picasso onboard a superyacht.
John Hume, a South African multimillionaire who started a rhino breeding project with about 200 animals 30 years ago, is selling all the rhinos and the 8,500-hectare (21,000 acres) conservation ranch where they live in what must rank as one of the most unusual ever online auctions.
