Nigeria’s Aliko Dangote has
retained his place as the richest man in Africa.
He remained number one on the
newly released Forbes’ list of African billionaires.
He, however, lost almost $2bn
compared to his last year’s worth.
The list was released on
Wednesday.
Dangote’s estimated $10.3 billion
net worth is nearly $2 billion less than a year ago.
Another Nigerian, Folorunsho
Alakija was one of the billionaires, who suffered a drop in their net worth
between last year and this year, as she held No 19 on the 20-man list.
The rating magazine reports that
Alakija’s net worth dropped due to a decline in the value of one of Nigeria’s
most productive oil fields.
Mike Adenuga, the owner of
Globacom, emerged Africa’s 5th richest man. He is worth an estimated $9.2
billion.
Others are Nigeria’s cement mogul
Abdulsamad Rabiu, who runs and owns the BUA Group, standing at number 16 on the
list for the first time since 2015.
