Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest man, is becoming increasingly wealthier and faster, having crossed the $30 billion mark last year.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the Nigerian industrialist's net worth has risen to $35.9 billion, up $1.03 billion in just the last few days.
That brings his overall year-to-date gain to $5.92 billion, firmly establishing him as one of Africa’s top-performing billionaires in 2026.
Just last week, the Nigerian businessman was valued at $34 billion.
That sum was $33.2 billion a week prior, which means he has gained roughly $3 billion in the space of two weeks.
