John Hume has been breeding rhinos since 1993 and owns the world's largest rhino farm in South Africa.
He fought a global ban on trading rhino horn, which would allow him to sell it to pay for his farm.
But after years of struggling to cover the ballooning costs to run the farm, it's up for sale.

Later this month, John Hume, the owner of the world's largest rhino farm, is selling up. For a minimum of $10 million, you can buy 2,000 white rhinos in South Africa.

He's been breeding white rhinos since 1993. For years, he campaigned to make it legal to sell rhino horn — a substance more valuable than elephant ivory, cocaine, or gold.
