Cecil Rhodes founded and owned De Beers which controlled around 90% of the global output of diamonds when he died in 1902. He controlled every major mine in South Africa other than the Premier Mine.
He also had some interests in gold mines, however these were largely in the Transvaal and not in the Cape Colony (what is now South Africa). The mines in the Transvaal were owned by many different people including Barnato, Robinson and Rhodes, but also thousands of other uitlanders.
