In an interview with Business Insider South Africa, Errol admitted that, at one point, he literally made more money than he could physically handle.
"We were very wealthy. We had so much money at times we couldn't even close our safe," Errol said, explaining that one person would hold the money down while a second would slam the safe door shut. "And then there'd still be all these notes sticking out and we'd sort of pull them out and put them in our pockets."
Errol also shared how his sons got involved in the family business and recalled a time when Elon and his brother Kimbal sold a few of the emeralds from his mine to Tiffany & Co. in New York City.
"They just walked into Tiffany's and said, 'Do you want to buy some emeralds?' " he told the outlet.
