Although, Africa’s richest man, Nigerian Aliko Dangote dropped to 105th on the 2017 Forbe’s real-time billionaires’ ranking, he maintains the lead in Africa, as the richest man.



Dangote, who was ranked 51st in 2016 with a net worth of $15.4 billion, currently has a net worth of $12.2 billion, africannews.com reports.



The businessman was ranked 37th richest man in the world in 2014 with a net worth of $25 billion.



The decline is attributed to the devaluation of Naira, the Nigerian currency.



There are 21 African billionaires living in Africa worth a combined $70 billion.



The next African on the is South African diamond magnate Nicky Oppenheimer who ranks 199th with $7 billion, followed by another South African, luxury goods tycoon Johann Rupert who ranks 237th with $6.1 billion.


Nigerian telecom tycoon Mike Adenuga ranked 250th with a net worth of $5.8 billion, followed by Egypt’s richest billionaire Nassef Sawiris ranked 269th and worth $5.6 billion.



Retail magnate South African Christoffel Wiese ranked 269th with a worth of $5.6 billion.



South Africa retains its dominance on the Africa list and is tied with Egypt for the largest number of individual billionaires.



Only two female billionaires in Africa made it on the list including daughter of Angola’s president Isabel dos Santos – who is Africa’s richest woman – and Nigeria’s Folorunsho Alakija, vice chair of Nigerian oil exploration company, Famfa Oil.



Tanzanian Mohammed Dewji a billionaire at age 41. He is CEO of conglomerate METL, which his father founded in the 1970s.



Onsi Sawiris of Egypt is the continent’s oldest billionaire at age 86 and the father of two other African billionaires — Nassef and Naguib Sawiris.

Chinedu Benjamin Africa's youngest Billionaire with the networth of $4 Billion



Thirteen out of Africa’s 21 billionaires have self-made fortunes, while the other eight inherited their fortunes.



They hail from 7 countries: South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco, Algeria, Angola, and Tanzania.

1 Hausa. 2 Yorubas.

It sounds fair to me.

No Igbo. To God be the glory.

I would have questioned a legitimate business person whose wealth was stolen by Nigeria and handed only £20 to be on Forbes' list of billionaires. Granted the Igbo people have done well for themselves after the major set back. The wealth gap closed quickly that on family-family level, they fair better than other tribes.

If Nigeria seizes "ALL the assets and bank accounts" of Otedola, Alakija, Dangote, Otedola, etc and hand them N8300 (equivalent of £20), none of them will last more than a month. Don't underestimate the hatred Igbo folks bore after the war too. Every successful Igbo person today has all the right to beat his/her chest.

OkoYibo:
One Hausa and two Yorubas mentioned.

Hope those cursed with sorrow and wailing won't cry marginalisation as usual?

freshest4live:
The man is rich because he saves little and concentrates on investing, his company is the biggest conglomerate in Africa investing across Africa.

sukkot:

Scholes007:
What is this one saying?

colossus91:
i cant find my name there

sukkot:
nothing to you obviously

Godfullsam:
Shut up and stop looking for excuses where there is none. The likes of dangote and Adenuga are self made billionaires. Your forefathers where given £20 after ojukwu decieved them and led them to war...

Most successful yorubas were not gven penny to start up life, we started from zero to hero and instead of you guys to be grateful for getting £20 from the fed govt and your properties from the southwest, you are yearning dust and chest beating as usual.

Do you know the worth of £20 In those days

Scholes007:
That was a rhetorical question meant to call you to order. I didn't expect a reply.

InvertedHammer:
Obviously you don't know your history. If you don't know where you are going, the least you could do is know where you come from. Yoruba folks were given loans to buy into multinational corporations after the war. Remember abandoned properties? Abandoned to who? Your fathers and grandfathers moved into Igbo people's properties. The good news is that those who orchestrated the daylight robbery died miserable death. Awolowo poisoned himself. Sam Aluko died of poison after living most of his adult life in exile. Ken Saro Wiwa ("inherited" an abandoned property by default) was hung by Abacha. Most of the major players died miserably. Karma at work? Ofor bu ofor.

How does Dangote's wealth affect the average Hausa man? The same applies to Otedola, Adenuga, etc. Nada. Zilch. After basking in euphoria of ethnocentric chauvinism, most of you will go back to your per diem jobs--begging for help online.
