There are 24 African billionaires this
year, down from 28 in 2015. And
according to Forbes, Nigerian
businessman Mike Adenuga is the
biggest gainer among the African
billionaires. He is now worth $10
billion, up from $4 billion a year ago.
The significant jump in Adenuga’s
fortune according to Forbes is
attributable to new information on the

estate holdings. Angolan investor
Isabel dos Santos and oil tycoon
