Vor sechs Jahren zog es die ehemalige Immobilienmaklerin Barbara Lenhard und ihren Lebensgefährten und Marketingspezialisten Florian Gast nach Kapstadt/Südafrika. Mit lediglich zwei Koffern Gepäck, zwei Laptops und ihrem Labrador Joya starteten die zwei Deutschen 2009 eine einmalige Erfolgsgeschichte. Mit Barbara Lenhard als Herausgeberin gründeten sie ein zweimal im Jahr erscheinendes Luxusmagazin namens Opulent Living. Innerhalb von nur zwei bis drei Jahren hatte sich die Publikation den Spitzenplatz in diesem Segment im südlichen Afrika gesichert und heute gilt Opulent Living als das führende Magazin für die feinen Dinge des Lebens.
