Forbes List: Dangote Now Richer Than Trump, Abramovich & Oprah Winfrey Combined

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 (103^rd), Femi Otedola at $1.8 Billion (1,011^th), Folorunsho Alakija at $1.6 Billion (1,121^st) and Abdulsamad Rabiu at $1.1 Billion (1,577^th).

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.

These ones field one of the youngest squads; play with a deadly combination of energy, appetite and intellect. With the sharpest attack edge in the tournament, the most painstaking midfield, an amazingly brave and athletic goalie, a shaky defence unit notwithstanding, this Nigerian Golden Eaglets prove the danger when Eagles flock. Announcing Prospect Soccer is like a religion in Nigeria. And it wouldn’t be out of place to say that the English Premier league only began to gain significant followership in Nigeria when Nigerians ran out of patience for the national teams and local clubs following decay in the administration of the game in the country. In the last decade and more, Nigerians have been deprived the joy of watching their national teams dominate the world. Hence, publicity for Chile 2015 in Nigeria was met with sad indifference.
