Billionaire business mogul, Aliko Dangote, slid down 14 places to 37th position in the World Richest Persons list within 24 hours. Dangote, the President, Dangote Group, who remains Africa’s richest person, was ranked 23rd on Thursday by Forbes.

Before Thursday’s ranking as the world’s 23rd richest person, Dangote, the first black person to be so ranked, occupied the 43rd position in the world. The owner of indigenous telecoms company, Globacom, Chief Mike Adenuga, was the next Nigerian on the list, with a wealth of $4.6bn, maintaining the 325th position in the world, while Folorunsho Alakija, with $2.5bn, was 687th in the world, and Abdulsamad Rabiu in the 1,372th position in the world, with $1.2bn. American billionaire, Bill Gates, reclaimed the title of world’s richest person from telecoms mogul, Carlos Slim Helu, of Mexico after four years. Gates, according to Forbes, raked in extra $9bnin the last one year and has been at the top of the list for 15 of the past 20 years. Spanish clothing retailer, Amancio Ortega (best known for the Zara fashion chain) retains the number three spot for the second year in a row, extending his lead over Warren Buffett, who is again number four.

Devalution of d Naira meant Dangote shares has taken a serious battering. Don't forget Nigeria stock exhange index has recorded an all time low in past few days thereby making Dangote,Otedola and any other listed billionare's fortune to dwindle. 1 Like |

Mendo007: Yes, it's possible. The stock market has lost huge points in the last 48hrs with foreign investors dumping their shares and repatriating their funds elsewhere due to the continuous falling oil prices. |

Africans don't need the kind of western rating of riches in which winners takes all at the expense report f the masses. Wealth should be calculated on how genuinely happy the people are,not greed. |

Who cares about Forbes and their rankings. |

Most people on this list will get depressed and commit suicide at the slightest slump in their fortunes. Trust me, I can never commit suicide for anything. Naija never gives up |
Re: Dangote Drops To 37th Richest In The World Under 24hours by redsun(m): 12:21am On Nov 08, 2014 |
Nobleval: Just to maintain the immoral senseless and useless status quo. About five percent of the population owns 95 percent of the world's wealth and in it billions are dying of starvation needlessly. Africans don't need to see things that way,wealth should be calculated on how well people live together in harmony,not how much a few psychopathic individuals can deprive the masses of. 1 Like |

Sarcasm: with the advent of cement coming to N1,000, purchasing power will increase and demand will move up then dangote will be the richest man in no time. |
