Why Femi Otedola Is Africa’s Highest Gaining Billionaire With $1.81 Billion by AbuadStudent(m): 12:25am On Jan 09, 2016

Many Nigerians are screaming the word…BROKE. But not Femi Otedola!

The billionaire who is Chairman of Forte Oil made so much money last year while many others were losing money. He earned so much that it has landed him on the Number 1 spot as Africa’s highest gaining billionaire in 2015.

According to Forbes, more African billionaires saw a drop in their net worth in 2015 but Femi Otedola’s fortunes rose by a whopping 75% by the end of 2015. He went from earning $778 million in 2014 to $1.81 billion in 2015.

Please don’t bother converting to Naira….your calculator might explode!

According to Ventures Africa, only 5 of the 21 African billionaires grew richer between 2014 and 2015. Apart from Otedola who was the highest gaining the others on the list are:

Mohammed Dewji (Tanzania)

Christofell Wiese (South Africa)

Isabel Dos Santos (Angola)

Issad Rebrab (Algeria)

Happy for him. Although it's difficult to say this with a straight face knowing how these guys cut corners and indulge in a lot of shady deals. Besides,i've never heard of any philantropic gesture of his. I may be wrong though.

You're grateful for what exactly? This asshole is 1 of the subsidy thieves holding the Country to ransom while hoarding the fuel & making Nigerians suffer, and you're grateful he made it ?

If Oluwa blesses your hustle, he's a bastard!

How exactly do you know he took side on the subsidy theft? The subsidy was entirely under NNPC except now that it's removed. And NNPC isn't Forte oil... Bros, you've gotta be grateful over ppl's achievement... And wish them well.

If you were in his position you'd done worst things... And don't even claim you're a saint here coz u're not close to being good.

Oluwa isn't a bastard and he'll bless my hustle this here... Wait and see!
