Forbes magazine’s inaugural list of the 40 richest people in Africa put Nigeria’s Aliko Dangote as Africa’s richest man. Dangote with a stake in Dangote Cement and interests in flour milling and sugar refining, has a fortune of $10.1bn (£6.4bn).
The inaugural list puts South Africa’s Nicky Oppenheimer at number two with $6.5bn.
Two Kenyans Uhuru Kenyatta and Chris Kirubi appear on the list in the 26th and 31st position. Uhuru who is 50 years old has a fortune of $500 million (Sh45 billion) while Kirubi’s fortune is valued at $300million (Sh29 billion).
The magazine ignored dispersed family fortunes, such as the Chandaria family of Kenya.
Forbes said it had reached the values using stock prices for publicly-traded companies and estimates of revenues or profits for the many privately-held businesses.
