defined as individuals who have net assets of $1 million or more &#8211; spend their money, with purchases ranging from property, to art and fashion.<\/p>\n<p>However, one of the most popular purchases remains cars, with South Africa&#8217;s wealthiest splurging on a number of high-end vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The report noted that luxury SUVs are especially popular with SA\u2019s super-rich, primarily because of their:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High road clearance (SUVs handle potholes and bad roads better than luxury sedans and sports cars);<\/li>\n<li>Safety aspects;<\/li>\n<li>Space for children;
