Previously, Briefly.co.za gathered the sons of the five richest families- which included Patrice Motsepe's son and the DA backer, Johann Rupert's kid.

Now, we turned out focus on the daughters- and some of these daddy's girls are living life large.

Here is a list of the daughters of five of SA's richest families:

1. Hanneli and Caroline Rupert

Hanneli and Caroline are the daughters of South African billionaire Johann Rupert- who is the second wealthiest man in the country.

Caroline managed to stay out of the spotlight and there is not a lot of information on her, despite her dad being such an influential man.

Hanneli, a business woman, found her own company called Merchants of Long- which aims to showcase the artisanal talents of Africa. She was also one of the country's leading mezzo-sopranos.

2. Clare and Christina Wiese

The daughters of former dollar billionaire Christo Wiese- the man who owns the majority of Virgin Active international shares and Shoprite.

Following her wedding, Wiese bought Clare a R90 million mansion in the posh Cape Town suburb, Clifton.

Clare became quite the successful woman in her own right- she's a qualified attorney, launched two separate jewellery lines and she is now the co-producer and presenter of a TV show called Mooimaak.

Like her sister, Christina established herself as a successful woman. She graduated from the Stellenbosch university and went on to volunteer at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town.

She also worked as an Independent Non-Executive Director of Stellar Capital Partners Limited. Bloomberg.com reported.

3. Keneilwe (Kiki) and Mashudu Ramaphosa

Okay, so Cyril Ramaphosa is the president of South Africa, but he is also a very rich businessman, which earns his daughters a spot on our list.

However, the South African president has done quite the job keeping his kids out of the spotlight.

Ramaphosa also had a daughter, Tulisa, with his first wife, the late Nomazizi Mtshotshisana.
