How much is Jannie Mouton and family Worth? Jannie Mouton and family Net Worth in 2026
Jannie Mouton and family’s net worth is estimated at $2.1 billion as of November 2026. In 1995 the stockbroking firm he co-founded fired him as managing director, and he later titled his memoir after it: And then they fired me. The company he took over that same year became PSG, and PSG backed Capitec, the bank whose 5.9 million shares in the family trust now make up about 84% of this fortune.

How much is Jannie Mouton worth in 2026?
About $2.1 billion, by our estimate, for the family trust through which he holds his shares. We value its listed stakes at November 10, 2026 prices and convert at R16.5 to the dollar. His son Piet owns a separate, larger Capitec stake in his own name; we do not add it here, and we show the combined figure below.
How we got to $2.1 billion
| Source | Our estimate | What it rests on |
|---|---|---|
| Capitec shares | $1.79 billion | 5,917,727 shares held by the family trust, about 5.1% of the bank, at R4,983.19 on November 10, 2026: R29.49 billion. |
| PSG Financial Services shares | $311 million | 163.7 million shares credited to him in an October 2026 report, at R31.35 on November 10, 2026: R5.13 billion. |
| Capitec dividends for the year to February 2026 | $23 million | Our calculation: Capitec paid R9.27 billion on 115.84 million shares, about R80 a share, so the trust’s 5,917,727 shares earned about R473 million. Less an assumed 20% dividends tax that is R379 million, which we assume is held as cash. |
| Total | $2.12 billion | Rounded to $2.1 billion. |
The school group his foundation bought
In August 2025 the Jannie Mouton Stigting, the foundation he set up in 2017 with 10.5 million PSG shares, announced it would spend R7.2 billion buying out the shareholders of Curro, the private school group, and run it as a not-for-profit, according to his biography. Curro shareholders were paid in listed Capitec and PSG Financial Services shares, Billionaires.Africa reported in January 2026.
We could not confirm whether any of those shares came from the family trust rather than the foundation’s own holdings, so we take nothing off. For scale, R7.2 billion at R16.5 to the dollar is about $436 million, roughly a fifth of our estimate.
A bank that pays the bills
Capitec earned R16.84 billion in the year to February 2026, up 22.46%, and paid out 55% of headline earnings as dividends, R9.27 billion in all. Shore Africa reported the trust’s share as R562.11 million, up from R385.24 million a year earlier. That figure does not square with a 5.1% stake: by our math the trust’s cut of R9.27 billion is about R473 million, and that is the number we use.
The share price is the bigger lever. Capitec fell 7% in the third quarter of 2026, to R4,396.21 on September 30, which cut the trust’s stake to about $1.59 billion, Billionaires.Africa reported. By November 10 it had recovered to R4,983.19, a 13% rise in six weeks, and the stake to $1.79 billion. Every R100 on the Capitec price moves the trust by about $36 million.
Counting the whole family
Piet Mouton, his son and the chairman of PSG Group, owns 6,685,622 Capitec shares, more than his father’s trust. At the November 10 price they are worth about $2.02 billion. By our math, the trust and Piet together hold roughly $4.1 billion. Jannie also has a second son, Jan, a non-executive director of PSG, and a daughter, Charité. The family keeps an 87% interest in the unlisted PSG Group, whose remaining value is not published and is not in our ledger.
Why other estimates disagree
Public estimates run from about $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion. Most were struck before the Curro buyout reduced the trust’s holdings, or at higher Capitec prices earlier in the year. Capitec’s swings move the figure by hundreds of millions within a quarter.
What would move the figure
Capitec’s share price, above all. A value put on the unlisted PSG Group would add a row, and any further gifts to the foundation would take one away.
