Leading the Nigerian contingent is Aliko Dangote, Africa’s wealthiest individual and chairman of Dangote Group, Africa’s largest cement producer. Dangote clinched the 144th spot on the list with a formidable net worth of $13.4 billion. His diversified investment portfolio includes significant interests in cement production and sugar.

Following closely is telecommunications magnate Mike Adenuga, chairman of Globacom, who stands at the 409th position with a net worth of $6.7 billion. Adenuga’s wealth stems from his successful ventures in telecommunications and oil.
