Where they come from

The 18 billionaires from Africa this year are worth $73.8 billion, slightly more than the $73.4 billion worth of the 20 billionaires on Africa’s list of the richest last year.

The continent’s 18 billionaires are worth an average of $4.1 billion, up 12% from a year earlier, partly driven by Nigeria’s stock market.

Another Nigerian cement tycoon, Abdul Samad Rabiu, has made huge profits this year. Significantly, the shares of his BUA Cement PLC, which was listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange in January 2020, have more than doubled in the past year. This increased Rabiu’s wealth by an extraordinary 77% to $5.5 billion.

Only two women millionaires from Africa are off the list. Forbes estimates that Nigeria’s Folorunsho Alakija, who owns the oil research firm, has less than $1 billion in assets due to falling oil prices.

Isabel dos Santos, the richest woman in Africa since 2013, was knocked out of her perch by a series of court rulings that froze her assets in both Angola and Portugal.

The 18 billionaires from Africa are from seven different countries. South Africa and Egypt each have five billionaires, Nigeria three and Morocco two. Overall, they are worth $73.8 billion, slightly more than the $73.4 billion of the 20 billionaires on Africa’s rich list last year.
