Former Major Shareholders of De Beers
De Beers was established in 1888 and is the world’s leading diamond company with expertise in the exploration, mining and marketing of diamonds. The mining operations are in Botswana, Canada, Namibia and South Africa and produces and markets approximately 40% of the world’s supply of rough diamonds.
In 2011 on Existing De Beers for $5.1 billion:
Nicky Oppenheimer, De Beers chairman representing the Oppenheimer family interests:“This has been a momentous and difficult decision as my family has been in the diamond industry for more than 100 years and part of De Beers for over 80 years. After careful and deliberate consideration of the offer, and what is in the best interests of the family, we unanimously agreed to accept Anglo American’s offer. Anglo American is the natural home for our stake as they have been major shareholders in De Beers since 1926 and have a deep knowledge of the diamond business.”
