According to Forbes, there are 2,781 individual billionaires globally.

It labelled 2024 as a year for the planet’s billionaires, whose fortunes continue to swell as global stock markets shrug off war, political unrest and lingering inflation.

Forbes said, “There are now more billionaires than ever: 2,781 in all, 141 more than last year and 26 more than the record set in 2021. They’re richer than ever, worth $14.2tn in aggregate, up by $2tn from 2023 and $1.1tn above the previous record, also set in 2021. Two-thirds of the list’s members are worth more than a year ago; only one-fourth are poorer.

“Much of the gains come from the top 20, who added a combined $700bn in wealth since 2023, and from the U.S., which now boasts a record 813 billionaires worth a combined $5.7tn. China remains second, with 473 (including Hong Kong) worth $1.7tn, despite weak consumer spending and a real estate bust that helped wipe out $200bn in wealth and knocked 89 billionaires from the ranks. India, which has 200 billionaires (also a record), ranks third.”

“In all, 265 fresh faces are new to the World’s Billionaires. The richest of all is Italy’s Andrea Pignataro, a former Salomon Brothers bond trader behind financial software firm ION Group. He’s worth an estimated $27.5bn.”

According to th magazine, other notable newcomers include the founder of the Raising Cane’s fast-food chain Todd Graves ($9.1bn); Maggie Gu, Molly Miao and Ren Xiaoqing ($4.2bn each); three cofounders of fast-fashion giant Shein; iconic high-heel designer Christian Louboutin ($1.2bn); and Elon Musk pal, and Tesla and SpaceX investor, Antonio Gracias ($1.1bn).

It stated that its “World’s Billionaires list” was a snapshot of wealth using stock prices and exchange rates from March 8, 2024.

The only reason an easterner would think he isn’t on the list is because they hated him.

Show me Otedola, this is one of Azudialor investments

proeast:
Lol, billionaires indeed. Crooks that connived with military and civilian rulers to corner the country’s resources are claiming billionaires. In other places, we see billionaires with patented techs, inventions or unique products to their names. People that made lives easier for everyone and got rich out of it. Not these crooks that stole the commonwealth and made the lives of 200 million people miserable.

The funny thing is that, the same impoverished masses they made miserable would be here glorifying them out of ignorance and primitive tribalism.

You all deserve the Hobbesian lives you’re living in that hellhole.

Otedola Lagos/Ibadan over hyping🤣🤣

echodrum:
the civil war between Nigeria and the Igbos wiped out everything the Igbos had. Yoruba who did not fight any war can not boast of 10 billionaire. Educate yourself by googling the first billionaire in Nigeria.
Don't play with the Igbos.

Bestmanfornow:

There are more than 10 Igbos far richer than Otedola choose to remain low

MrSundry:


Otedola owns 78% stake in Geregu power. Geregu is currently valued at N2.5trillion, out of which N1.9trillion belongs to Otedola. If you convert that to naira, that's about $1.3bn networth.

I haven't added his shareholdings in First bank. He is also the majority (individual) shareholder in First bank

You sound frustrated!

I understand how you feel.

Trustmea:

Emeka ofor can buy Otedolla not to talk of Oga kpatakpata Arthur eze. When i see otedolla $1b in the list i was like wtf is he doing there when there are many igbo people that get more than that. i thought the list was compiled in abeokuta

HBB1:



Yorubas have 2 Billionaires.

Igbos have none!

Deal with it.
...and stop bringing up the civil war everytime something does not favour you-- nobody forced you to fight it.

Ikaeniyan0:


There are thousands of billionaires all over the world. Dangote is in the list of the top 200 billionaires list does not mean Samad, Otedola and Adenuga are not also billionaires, they are not just wealthy enough to make the top 200 list like Dangote.

keemsleek:


As much as I don't like getting involved in arguments like these, pls let me put something straight to you, Aitto, rain oil, Nestoil even Air Peace don't compare them to Otedola. They all came through him i mean those in the oil and gas sector. If you into the downstream sector and you ask who is the King of Ago then you would understand who that Otedola guy is. Even the Dantata (MRS acquiring Texaco) they can't stand otedole. Author Eze is rich, and the seplat guy is cool but I feel there more richer igbo men you didn't mention but don't compare, aitto,rain Oil, Nestoil oil to otedola. It's like comparing Zuma Rock to Kilimonjaro. No offence just my view.

Raf4:


What many of you don't know is that all these pictures of oil rigs, dredging and all sorts are leased assets/equipment and heavily bank facilities financed activities. Those guys are making cool money and at the same time paying huge interest and rent to finance houses and lessors.
It isn't easy to make one billion naira talk more of one billion dollar, which is over one trillion naira.

Laugh wan kill me!

Ibo man REMAIN LOW?

IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They MUST show the World!

Bestmanfornow:

He is the President and Chief Executive Officer of various companies, including Zenon Petroleum & Gas Limited, Seaforce Shipping Company Limited, Atlas Shipping Agency Company Limited, F. O. Transport Limited, F.O, chairman of First Bank, chairman Gerrgu Power plc and also the second largest share holder in Transcorp. No need to drag anything like I said there lot of silent Igbo billionaires.

Geregu power shareholders

Otedola Control 0.000050

abdsamad:


You're right. I would just suggest you take it a little easy on the blinds followers. People are rarely well informed about the harm the rich do to them to get rich.

As for me, that forbes list is a who is who of who stole the most from the poor.
Maybe the tech billionaires are better, but not by much. They skirt taxes and bribe politicians so much that they ensure the continued exploitation of workers and the environment. Then they turn around and replace all those workers with gpt.

Billionaires should be pariahs to be pitied not celebrities to be worshipped, with the exception of the minority that prove otherwise

EmperorCaesar:


This is the dumbest explanation I have seen in my life
Whats the business of Forbes with thosw who stole what? And isnt that the reason why they try to research and verify everything before adding anyone to the list?

I would be dumb to doubt a verified and reliable list like forbes while trying to believe a random unknown person like u


Simply put, the reason why there isnt any Igbo on that list is cause they hate and envy them....that should make u sleep well at night
