Now you have seen the list, I guess you now know that the second place was Mike Adenuga, chief executive officer of Globacom, whose net worth dramatically increased from $5.3 billion to $9.2 billion because he provided more detailed information about his assets. While the Number three in Africa is diamond heir Nicky Oppenheimer of South Africa. His grandfather founded diamond mining firm DeBeers, which Nicky ran and then sold to mining giant Anglo American for $5.1 billion cash in 2012. He is currently worth an estimated $7.3 billion, down from $7.7 billion a year ago.

Nevertheless, Nigeria’s cement mogul Abdulsamad Rabiu, who runs and owns the BUA Group, also returns to the list at number 16, for the first time since 2015. He merged his Kalambaina Cement firm into publicly traded Cement Company of Northern Nigeria, which he controlled, in late 2018.
