The interesting fact about all these people is that, they created something that wasn't there before. In Nigeria, you see extremely rich people who don't have any identifiable bizness. They simply steal from govt & hide the billions in soakaways, overhead tanks or stash it abroad, in anonymous accounts, in anonymous countries like Panama. Them go come dey chop the money small, small with their immediate family. Black man,,,, Tufiakwa!!!! 29 Likes 3 Shares

Bill Gates is the real richest man in the world that Nigga has given some people's networth on that list to charity and still number 2.
