Forbes magazine, which writes and compiles lists of the richest people at different times, has published the list of the 10 richest people in Africa, which once again featured the financier Aliko Dangote, who appeared for the 12th time. For the 12th time, Aliko Dangote has been ranked first among the 10 richest people in Africa.
Aliko Dangote is one of the financiers of the country of Nigeria located in West Africa, and he does various activities.
He is followed by a South African, Johann Ruper, and his family in second place with $10.7 billion, where their wealth is based on the business of luxury goods.
It is while on third place, there is Nick Oppenheimer and his family from South Africa who has 8.7 billion dollars, and they are famous in the business of ‘Diamonds’.
This is the 12th time Aliko Dangote has come to this position. But according to Forbes, his net worth has decreased by $400 million to $13.5 billion.
Second place Johann Rupert in 2022 had a net worth of $11 Billion, his net worth has decreased to $10.7 Billion. For the 12th time, Aliko Dangote has been ranked first among the 10 richest people in Africa.
This was due to the fact that the Richemont watch company did not perform well in 2022.
According to Forbes, in the last 12 months, the wealthy have lost nearly $3.2 billion due to the global financial crisis in 2022.
Three years ago, Aliko Dangote announced that he would soon buy the English club Arsenal.
Aliko Dangote who is an ardent fan of Arsenal FC has repeatedly expressed his desire to invest in the club over the years but his wishes have not come true. For the 12th time, Aliko Dangote has been ranked first among the 10 richest people in Africa.
It was in 2018 that Aliko Dangote again said that he wanted to buy the Arsenal team and was ready to invest everything in it to return to its level of winning trophies, both in England and on the European continent, but what he wanted was not achieved because the team remained in the hands of American billionaire Stan Kroenke.
