As of June 2022, Aliko Dangote was the richest man in Africa. He had a net worth of nearly 15 billion U.S. dollars and ranked 125th worldwide. From Nigeria, he is the founder and chairman of the Dangote Group, a large conglomerate operating in several sectors including cement and sugar. The South African Nicky Oppenheimer and family followed as the second-richest people in Africa, with a net worth of 8.6 billion U.S. dollars.
Dangote Group continues to expandFounded in 1981, the Dangote Group (Dangote Industries Limited) is among the largest conglomerates in Africa. Its main subsidiary, Dangote Cement Plc, is the main cement manufacturer on the African continent. The business went public in 2010 and represents the largest company listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
In addition to the cement industry, the Group also manufactures and processes food products, such as sugar, flour, and salt. With Nigeria being the leading African country for oil production, Dangote expanded his business into the oil industry in recent years. For this purpose, the Group built Africa’s biggest oil refinery near Lagos, Nigeria.
Africa’s wealthiest countriesWealth in Africa is concentrated in a few countries and, within those, in a few families.
Counting the highest numbers of billionaires, South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria are the wealthiest nations, having also the largest gross domestic products (GDPs) in Africa. These countries count the highest number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), which amounts to over 39 thousand in South Africa. Not surprisingly, Johannesburg and Cape Town have the highest concentration of private wealth in Africa. Moreover, South Africa has the highest wealth per capita after Mauritius.
