Top 21 Richest Men In Africa By Forbes In 2019

Forbes has released their 21-man richest men in Africa list, for the year 2019.

The list of richest men in Africa was released yesterday, 9th of January, 2019.

The list has revealed that there were fewer and poorer billionaires on the African continent in 2019.

Nigeria’s Aliko Dangote retained his place as the richest man in Africa on the newly released Forbes’ list of African billionaires.

He, however, lost almost $2bn compared to his last year’s worth. 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.

Forbes report that, Alakija’s net worth dropped due to a decline in the value of one of Nigeria’s most productive oil fields.

It is claimed that the decline can be partly blamed on the fact that the oil field’s production had levelled off.

Mike Adenuga, the owner of Globacom, emerged Africa’s 5th richest man. 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.
