Rael Levitt launched his first property company at the age of 21, going on to earn a reputation as a pioneer in the South African auction industry. By 2010, his company Auction Alliance had more than R6-billion turnover. In 2012, in the face of the scandal described in his book It Takes A Tsunami, Levitt closed the company. Subsequently vindicated of any wrongdoing, he obtained an MBA from UCLA in the US and a master’s degree from the National University of Singapore. In 2017 he founded Inospace, a leading owner and operator of industrial and logistics parks. Inospace quickly grew into a multibillion-rand company – and with it Levitt’s reputation as South Africa’s property comeback kid.
