I'm hoping that there is a billionaire that would rather save the population of rhinos from extinction than own a super-yacht." Hume lamented that: "Rhinos are underdogs. He told reporters: "I've used all my life savings spending on that population of rhinos for 30 years and I finally ran out of money. His expenses include vets' bills, security guards to keep poachers at bay and a helicopter for air patrols. Hume has spent $150 million of his personal fortune on increasing rhino numbers, but can no longer afford to maintain the creatures. Mr Hume's ranch is home to more than 10 per cent of the world's total rhino population. Mr Hume is also selling the 8,500-hectare ranch 100 miles south-east of Johannesburg where the rhinos live. He managed to increase his stock of the animals ten-fold.
He started a rhino breeding project with about 200 animals 30 years ago. The majestic beasts are being sold by multi-millionaire conservationist John Hume, a South African entrepreneur. However, those rich enough to splash out in excess of $10 million can bid for 1,993 white rhinos on May the 1st, which is International Save the Rhino Day. It rarely makes us think of a near-threatened species of rhinoceros. The word "auction" usually conjures up images of priceless art, fine wines or celebrity memorabilia.
