These three are Billionaires in dollars, but other than disparity in investment interests, race, religion etc., there is
recently recorded difference between Aliko Dangote, Roman Abramovich, Donald Trump
and Oprah Winfrey: Dangote is now richer than the other three put together.
According to
Forbes’ 2016 list of Earth’s Billionaires, you will add up the wealth of
boastful US presidential hopeful, Donald Trump, Chelsea owner Abramovich and
World richest black woman, Oprah Winfrey, and Dangote is still $300 million
richer than the combination.
Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari’s economic policies have
hurt Aliko Dangote’s economic escalation. He has lost about $300 million dollars
as a result, but he still is worth $15.4 billion dollars to remain the richest
person in black skin and the wealthiest African.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is valued at $4.5 Billion,
Abramovich at $7.6 Billion and Oprah at $3.0 Billion.
Dangote is also wealthier than all the Nigerians on the
Forbes list combined; among them are Mike Adenuga at $10 billion (103rd),
Femi Otedola at $1.8 Billion (1,011th), Folorunsho Alakija at $1.6
Billion (1,121st) and Abdulsamad Rabiu at $1.1 Billion (1,577th).
In 2015, Dangote and 61 other Billionaires were richer than
half the population of the world. In one year however, due to rise in prices of
commodities and other factors globally, the number of Billionaires has dropped
as 16 Billionaires have dropped out to leave the number at 1810 Billionaires.
The fall in oil prices have also negatively affected the
fortunes of Nigeria’s richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija.
