There are more billionaires to be made from the continent. We the youths need to embrace a culture of entrepreneurship and hard work.
African governments also need to wake up! Africa has so much potential, we'll get there one day.

Ceteris paribus,Aliko will be in top ten of the WORLD richest man in 5yrs.

rawpadgin: one day my name will surely be mention in the same breath as these folks

As the guy who tried to rob them?

WOW....a huge gap difference of about $17.1b between the Africa's richest and 2nd richest, That man Aliko is never relenting on his oars...After the Dangote refinery is built,Edison brothers fit no see him back again...

my dad's name nt in d list gosh

I don't want to taint anyone's image or assassinate their character, but if u really investigate the routes all these so call billionaires used to generate their wealth u wouldn't be glorifying them this much. Heck if Bernie Madoff wasn't caught red handed, he would be on Forbes list of the richest people in the world and called a business tycoon/investor but greed got the best of him.

Where's chief igbinedion on dat list,i mean d esama of benin kingdom

ednut1: how come my name is missing on a more serious note do u notice the south Africans der. this is d reason i regard Nelson Mandela as a A$$ licker. d white media kept praising and overhyping him because he danced to their tune and not naturalize all the white owned corporation. make i go hide because i go too chop insult. d truth is bitter anyway

Robert Mugabe did what u just said in Zimbabwe and now Zimbabwe can't even conduct an election without foreign financial assistance and non of its citizen made top 20 in this list

rawpadgin: one day my name will surely be mention in the same breath as these folks

stam101: 1. Aliko Dangote — Net Worth: $25 Billion

The richest man in Africa is also the richest black man in the world. Aliko Dangote is also the 23rd richest man in the world, period. Born into wealth in Nigeria, Dangote remembers being interested at a young age when he would “go and buy cartons of sweets and I would start selling them just to make money. I was so interested in business, even at that time.” Clearly, that business acumen followed Dangote into adulthood when he began trading in cement, sugar, flour and other commodities, eventually founding the Dangote Group, one of Africa’s largest publicly listed companies. The Dangote Group now produces its own sugar, salt and cement and owns manufacturing plants for these goods across Africa.
