Dangote's wealth was valued at an impressive $15.6 billion in the recently released daily top billionaire lists on Tuesday, placing him at the pinnacle of African billionaires on the Index.
Despite the volatility of the Nigerian currency, Dangote’s consistent ranking as Africa’s richest person reflects his successful business ventures and investments in a variety of sectors.
Only five other Africans made the most recent list of the world’s top 500 billionaires for the year 2023. They include South Africans Johann Rupert and his family, who have a net worth of $13.3 billion, Nicky Oppenheimer, Nassef Sawiris, Natie Kirsh, and Naguib Sawiris, who have respective fortunes of $9.0 billion, $7.47 billion, $7.37 billion, and $5.93 billion.All rights reserved.
