South African billionaire Johann Rupert has emerged as the new wealthiest individual in Africa, surpassing the long-reigning champion, Aliko Dangote.

Forbes reports that as of Tuesday, January 2, 2023, Rupert’s net worth soared to an impressive $10.3 billion, while Dangote’s fortunes dwindled slightly to $9.5 billion.

This marks a significant milestone for Rupert, as he now claims the crown that Dangote has held for the past decade. His ascension on the global stage is equally noteworthy, as he is ranked as the 192nd wealthiest person in the world, according to Forbes’ latest rankings. In contrast, Dangote currently resides at the 230th position, a stark shift from his long-standing top spot.
