Dangote is a public quoted company. Not a private company limited by shares.

The next richest black man will be from the tech industry in Nigeria.

And it's definitely going to be me. I'm playing the long-term game. Long-term players always stand out.

Alphabet, Apple etc are publicly quoted companies on stock exchanges eg Nasdaq, Dow Jones, the list here are companies yet to go public.
Hence the tag Private.

GreatrAnalyst:
Partially true.
But in about a year time, the list will likely be reshuffled, by even newer AI companies.
It is a big surprise that even Alphabet isn't in the first 10 again, let alone Apple, which was the first company to cross 1 Trillion dollars back then.

See these pedophiles, fornicator and Adulterers condemning other Adulterers and fornicators.

Meanwhile other pedophiles, fornicators and Adulterers are condemning those pedophiles, fornicators and Adulterers who are condemning those other pedophiles, fornicators and Adulterers.

Hmm. There must be problem somewhere.

I don't even understand what message you trying to pass.

Clarify it please.

AndroBlaze:
They mean companies not on the stock market or publicly traded.

Not sure they are fully correct though regarding the list.

NOTE: I was wondering why Aramco was not on the list only to find out a small % of their shares are now publicly available. The list is probably correct then.

Whai the difference between PLCs and privately owned?

Eriokanmi:
They're PLCs, not privately owned

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Dangote is a public quoted company. Not a private company limited by shares.

Point of Correction:
Dangote Refinery is yet to be a Publicly quoted Company on the Nigerian Stock Exchange but they are Preparing to do so and it's very technical and a rigorous exercises.
But, very soon, they are coming to determine how the Public perceptions about it but they will do well.

But can we still call dangote a private company?
Am confused here.

Breaking...
Walmart became the first retailer to join the $1 trillion market cap club Tuesday.
Shares of the world’s largest traditional retailer gained 3%, helping it join a small group of primarily tech firms with a 13-figure valuation. The company has seen rising sales over the past year, despite struggles from competitors like Target, as it attracts more high-income shoppers and leans into AI technology.

That success has enriched the Walton family. Founder Sam Walton’s oldest son and former chair, Rob, is worth around $146 billion as of Tuesday.

Let’s get into the headlines,

PLC means public liability company. It's not owned by a private entity. Ltd or LLC is a privately owned company

Private companies,,,

Yeah.
But they are making solid products. I always take tech valuations with a pinch of salt.It is not unusual for a tech company to have a billion usd valuation one year and collapse the next year.

gerrardomendes:
Wow
So all these Toyota and car manufacturers no follow o.
