	Harry Oppenheimer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harry Frederick Oppenheimer (28 October 1908 – 19 August 2000), was a prominent South African businessman and one of the world's richest men.
		The son of Ernest Oppenheimer (who was soon to found Anglo American Corporation, and become chairman of De Beers Consolidated Mines), Harry was born to an assimilated Jewish family of German origins in Kimberley, the original centre for diamond mining in South Africa, and lived most of his life in Johannesburg.
		Harry Oppenheimer was the chairman of Anglo American Corporation for a quarter of a century and chairman of De Beers Consolidated Mines for 27 years until he retired from those positions in 1982 and 1984 respectively.

		Oppenheimer returned from World War II and was elected to South African Parliament in 1948 as a member of the minority white liberal opposition, lending his considerable financial and high profile support to anti-apartheid stances.
		Oppenheimer gracefully bore the snubs and public attacks from both heads of state in his homeland as well as fellow businessmen and Afrikaner commoners for his anti-apartheid politics, and continued to lend his moral and financial support to liberal and reformist activities.
		Harry Oppenheimer was admitted to Kenridge Hospital the evening of August 18th with complaints of abdominal pain and headache and died early on the 19th of August 2000.

	The Rise and Fall of Diamonds
		Oppenheimer was born on October 28, 1908, in Kimberley, a city literally built on diamond mines.
		The Oppenheimer strategy was not aimed at deceiving the African governments themselves, for they were fully aware that De Beers was the ultimate operator of their mines and marketer of their diamonds.
		Oppenheimer was personally able to control this vast corporate complex, though he had only a small percent of the equity in it, through an ingeniously constructed pyramid of ownership.

		Sitting across the desk from Oppenheimer, however, it is hard to imagine that this small, shy man dominated a multi-billion-dollar empire.

		But Oppenheimer is described by his critics as opinionated and willing only to listen to the chosen “yes-men” and “praise singers” who are said to surround him and whose inputs serve to confirm him in his own views.
		Harry largely commanded the unswerving loyalty of his De Beers and Anglo corporate lieutenants — men with the skills and stature of Julian Ogilvie Thompson or Gavin Relly.
		The clever compromise that allowed the Oppenheimers to hold a continuing role as big fish though in a smaller pool was to de-list De Beers from the stock exchange.

		Nothing lasts forever and with the death this August at 91 of Harry Oppenheimer, the South African diamond magnate and former CEO of the De Beers cartel, the end of an era in which the world's diamond supply is exclusively controlled by one company and one family may be at hand.
		Oppenheimer inherited control of De Beers from his father, Sir Ernest, who seized the reins of the diamond empire of Cecil Rhodes -- eponymous founder of Rhodesia and the prestigious Rhodes Scholarships -- in 1929, mere months before the U.S. stock market crash.
		Although it was Sir Ernest who built De Beers into a worldwide cartel, it was Harry Oppenheimer who strengthened his father's legacy through his ingenious sculpting of the public's demand for the rock.

		Harry is still spoken of with a mixture of awe and respect.
		Anglo, therefore, is effectively helping the Oppenheimers secure control of their diamond inheritance, while the family barely puts its hand in its pocket.
