Aliko Dangote is Africa’s richest man….for 11th consecutive year 26 January 2022
Nigeria: Aliko Dangote has retained his position as the richest man in Africa, with a net worth of US$12.1bn for the 11th consecutive year, according to Forbes’ Top 10 List of African Billionaires. The owner of Dangote Cement saw his personal wealth increase by US$1.8bn, or nearly US$5m/day, in 2021, bringing it to US$13.9bn. A major contributing factor was a 30% rise in the share price of Dangote Cement, his most valuable asset. This was due to a surge in housing developments in Nigeria and growth in government infrastructure spending in 2021.
The Forbes list also ranked Abdul Samad Rabiu as the fifth richest African. He founded and chairs Nigeria-based cement producer BUA Group.
