Jannie Mouton Net Worth

Jannie Mouton has an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Jannie Mouton profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1 billion in 2017.

Jannie Mouton is a South African businessman best known for founding PSG Group, a listed investment holding firm. He trained as a chartered accountant and worked in accounting and business roles before moving into stockbroking. In 1982, he co-founded Senekal, Mouton & Kitshoff. That gave him a base in financial services and investing, which later became the core of his wealth in finance and investments.

His biggest career turning point came in 1995. After being fired from Senekal, Mouton & Kitshoff at age 48, he and Chris Otto gained control of PAG Limited, which later became PSG Group. PSG built interests across financial services, banking, private equity, agriculture and education. Forbes puts his net worth at $2.5 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026, reflecting the value tied to that long-running investment business.

How Jannie Mouton built his wealth

Mouton made his money in financial services and investing. After qualifying as a chartered accountant in 1973, he worked at Federale Volksbeleggings and also held roles at Veka and Kanhym. In 1982, he co-founded the broking firm Senekal, Mouton & Kitshoff and later became managing director in 1987. Those years helped him build experience in markets, deals and capital allocation before launching the business most closely tied to his fortune.

The key asset behind his wealth is PSG Group, the investment company he founded after 1995. PSG has held interests in banking, private equity, agriculture, education and other parts of financial services. Its portfolio included businesses such as Capitec, PSG Konsult, Curro, Stadio and MiWay Insurance, which started in 2007. PSG also backed a long list of companies in sectors from farming to logistics. That broad investing model is what made Mouton one of South Africa’s self-made billionaires.

Forbes net worth timeline

Forbes valued Mouton at $1 billion on its World's Billionaires List in 2017. By 2025, Forbes put him at $1.5 billion. The rise came after decades of value creation at PSG Group, which had expanded across several industries. Around that time, the unbundled PSG Financial Services reported net profit of R1.38 billion and assets under management of R470.7 billion, while the Mouton family still held an 87% interest in the unlisted PSG Group.

In 2026, Forbes raised its World's Billionaires List estimate to $2.7 billion. Later, Forbes showed $2.5 billion on its Real-Time Billionaires list in October 2026, and that is also the current figure on its tracker as of October 20, 2026. The movement fits a fortune tied to a holding company and its investments, where changing values in financial services, banking, agriculture, education and private equity can shift the estimate over time.
