Nigerian-born Aliko Dangote retains his position as Africa’s richest man for the 3rd
year in a row. He is $4.9 billion richer than he was last year on
account of the soaring value of his publicly-listed holdings in Nigerian
blue chips like Dangote Cement, Dangote Sugar, National Salt Company of Nigeria
and Zenith Bank among others.
This year, FORBES also accounted for
other assets including his personal portfolio of homes, jets and yacht.
Dangote started building his fortune over three decades ago by trading
in commodities like cement, flour and sugar but became a billionaire by
manufacturing these items. Venerable philanthropist has given away over
$100 million to causes in health, education, flood relief and poverty
alleviation.....Sports?
