Millionaire With A Yen Toward Traffic Duty
Richard Hoyle, a Johannesburg textile magnate said to be the world’s richest traffic cop, directs rush hour traffic on a main road in Johannesburg on a 500cc motorbike. He owns a yacht, a Monte Carlo base, and a Bryanston home with servants while his divorce suit seeks $742 monthly and custody of three daughters. He will take a part time traffic officer post at $2.10 an hour but cannot arrest or ticket.
