The only suburb outside of Cape Town in the top ten is Sandhurst, with an average home price of R19 million.

The latest African Wealth Report 2024 by Henley & Partners and New World Wealth showed that 12,300 of South Africa’s 37,400 high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs)—those with liquid wealth exceeding US$1 million (about R18 million)—are found in Johannesburg.

“Most of Johannesburg’s top-end wealth is concentrated in the suburbs surrounding Sandton City Shopping Centre, which has been dubbed ‘the richest square mile in Africa’,” said the report.

“In particular, the Sandton suburbs of Sandhurst, Hyde Park, and Inanda are all home to large numbers of HNWIs.”
