Africa's wealthy elite is expanding at a dramatic pace. In fact, according to a report by New World Wealth, the number of African millionaires has risen at twice the pace of the rest of the world in the last 15 years.

Though huge parts of Africa remain locked in extreme poverty, it's impossible to miss the emergence of ultra-wealthy individuals.

Here we've included the nations where the number of HNWI (high net worth individuals) has risen by more than 100% in the 15 years between 2000 and 2014. New World Wealth defines HNWIs as people with net assets of $1 million (£645,000) or more.

Overall in Africa, the number of HNWIs has risen by 145% over the period, while the world in general has seen an increase of 73%.

Place your orders for long-lasting solar power banks. See my signature.

But I disbelieve the report's authenticity as regards naija.

Common, naija gat HNWIs pass that number, by far.

The number of individuals that have gotten there over a decade ago is by far more than that.

Maybe, however because some of them, if not most of them, acquired theirs individually, so they might have kept the development from government, the press and certain financial authorities so they won't be exposed and squeezed.

But Nigeria deserves position 1 of that list.

Nigeria Is not ontop...i close thread and went back to Sleep,Yeye Writeup

The only way to erase the rich- poor gap is via education and industrial development...and an end to resource dependency.
