3. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo - Net Worth: $600 Million

Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has been the President of Equatorial Guinea for 34 years after ousting his uncle from office in 1979 in a military coup. He has looted and plundered his oil-rich country while sharing none of the country’s wealth with the citizens while the citizens of his country live on less than $1 per day. His son has followed in his footsteps; living lavishly in a $35-million estate in Malibu and three $1.7-million Bugatti Veyrons.

2) Mohammed VI of Morocco - Net Worth: $2.1 Billion

Mohammed VI has been the King of Morocco for the past 15 years. He is currently worth over $2.5 billion. He was born and raised in wealth, power and royalty and had the opportunity to be educated at the most prestigious schools worldwide. After he ascended to office, he made a public promise in which he stated that he would tackle poverty and corruption in Morocco, reduce unemployment and improve human rights status in the country. He has been keeping most of these promises which has earned him the recognition as the defender of the poor.

For 34 years?

He's not a president, he's a king. Two different meaning.

When he dies, is he going to take his ill-gotten wealth with him?

Unless, i am reading this page upside down, i think Mugabe should evem top the list and i do not want to believe he his worth just $10million. I will rather believe that actual records of his Bank Account where all the diamonds are put in the safe deposit Box could not be accessed. Also Mugabe's nephew Phillip Chiyangwa 's net worth is more than 100 million check him out. Mugabe himself has more money than his nephew, who ever wrote this doesn't know what he is writing.

Another mistake with your list is on president museveni of Uganda, he has been in power for up to 30years now, and he owns roughly 60% of the private sector in Uganda. So ranking him among the ranking him among the poorest presidents like Uruguay's Jose Mujica is misinformation.

Where is Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa? His home alone is R250million. what about his businesses?

I also think this article is nothing but a poor opinion from a misinformed racist journalist, these people are no different from the queen of England or the american president in terms of their abuse of political power for the greater good of their pockets. its not an African thing, its a global thing.

In conclusion, I do like to state what an Irony it is that these are countries with poorest populace. Most of these men are only parading what they've grabbed from public coffers.

Jacob zuma s home was built by the government...can you tell me one business under his ownership?

Ymodulus:

I would have replied you sir. But I recall how you kept on fighting and defending south African act of xenophobia in another thread.

O less I forget, I am aware you a south African. To this effect, I won't reply you. And note that this is Nairaland not RandLand, so if you try to bully me like you did in past thread I will Xeno you out of this website.

MduZA:

MduZA:


I can only apologize for correcting his lies...for him not liking my comments on another thread does not make his judgment true...

tellwisdom:


He was on the issue of xenophobia, where, from his assertion, you were careless in your choice words. So what am i not getting clear, here? Bro, just apologize to him and the people of Nigeria( If truly you were harsh in your words), and let the unity remain as it were..Gracias
