Cecil John Rhodes (July 5 1853 – March 26 1902Death Of Mr. Rhodes, The Times, 27 March 1902; pg. 7) was British businessman, mining magnate, politician and the colonizer of the state of Rhodesia, which was named after him. Rhodesia (later Northern and Southern Rhodesia) eventually became Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Rhodes profited greatly by exploiting Southern Africa's natural resources, proceeds of which founded the Rhodes Scholarship upon his death. Rhodes is famous for having declared: "all of these stars... these vast worlds that remain out of reach. If I could, I would annex other planets". S. Gertrude Millin, Rhodes, London, 1933, p.138
When he died in 1902, Rhodes was considered one of the wealthiest men in the world.
