Johann Rupert of South Africa overtakes Dangote to become Africa's richest man

Aliko Dangote has been eclipsed by South Africa's Johann Rupert to become the continent's richest person. With his wealth having increased to $13.65 billion, Rupert is now the 154th richest person in the world, according to Bloomberg. As of Friday, August 2, 2024, Dangote's net worth was $13.6 billion, which was around $50 million less than Rupert's wealth. This made the Kano-born business magnate the 156th richest person in the world. Between January and August of 2024, Rupert gained $1.21 billion in fortune. But, the depreciation of the Naira caused Dangote's fortune to plummet significantly. The majority of Rupert's wealth is derived from Cie Financière Richemont, the largest luxury watch manufacturer in the world and a publicly traded corporation that produces and markets high-end merchandise. However, Dangote's 86% ownership in Dangote Cement, which is traded on the stock market, accounts for the majority of his wealth. Read the full article

Aliko Dangote: A Legacy of Business and Philanthropy

Aliko Dangote, born on April 10, 1957, in Kano, Nigeria, is a renowned Nigerian businessman and philanthropist. He is best known as the founder and CEO of the Dangote Group conglomerate, a diversified enterprise with interests spanning various sectors.

Hailing from the Hausa ethnic group, Dangote was born to Mariya Sanusi Dantata and Mohammed Dangote. His family background in prosperous caravan trading under British colonial rule, particularly through his grandfather Alhaji Sanusi Dantata, played a significant role in shaping his entrepreneurial journey. At a young age, Dangote’s grandfather instilled in him the values of business acumen and enterprise, which laid the foundation for his future endeavors.

After completing his business studies at Al-Azhar University in Cairo in 1977, Dangote returned to Nigeria and embarked on his entrepreneurial path. With a loan from his uncle, he started a commodities trading business, initially focusing on cement. Over time, his business flourished, leading to the establishment of the Dangote Group in 1981.

Under Dangote’s leadership, the Dangote Group expanded rapidly, diversifying its interests to include foodstuffs, cement, haulage, and other sectors. The conglomerate grew to encompass various subsidiaries, including Dangote Industries Ltd., Dangote Cement PLC, and Dangote Sugar Refinery PLC, among others. With operations not only in Nigeria but also in several other African countries, Dangote’s influence extended across the continent.

One of Dangote’s most ambitious projects was the construction of a massive oil refinery in Lagos state, initiated in 2013. The refinery, along with accompanying infrastructure such as a fertilizer plant and a power station, aimed to address Nigeria’s fuel crisis and significantly impact the country’s energy sector. Despite facing delays, the refinery, upon its partial opening in May 2023, promised to revolutionize Nigeria’s energy landscape.

Dangote’s entrepreneurial prowess translated into immense wealth, earning him a place on Forbes magazine’s annual list of billionaires and Africa’s richest individuals. However, his success was not without controversy, as his name surfaced in the Panama Papers in 2016, linking him to offshore shell companies.

Beyond business, Dangote is renowned for his philanthropic endeavors. The Aliko Dangote Foundation, established in 1994 and renamed Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF) in 2018, has been instrumental in addressing issues such as childhood malnutrition, disease outbreaks, and disaster relief efforts.

In recognition of his contributions to Nigeria’s economic development and philanthropic efforts, Dangote has received numerous awards and honors, including the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) and various international accolades.

Aliko Dangote’s journey epitomizes the fusion of business acumen with humanitarian values, leaving an indelible mark on Nigeria’s economic landscape and the continent at large.
