The year 2020 has been a successful year for some, but for others, it has been the other way round. Coronavirus<\/a> had really affected the world economy, and the wealthiest are not an exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some billionaires<\/a> have seen their fortune take a really bad turn, and others lost their ranks on the Forbes list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of the unfortunate ongoing pandemic, there are still some that are considered as Africa’s wealthiest, and we would be discussing them in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Everyone knows the multi-billionaire, Aliko Dangote<\/a>. He is currently the richest man in Africa. He founded and chaired the Dangote Cement Company, the continent’s largest cement producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He owns 85% of publicly-traded cement through a holding company. The company produces 45.6 million metric tons yearly and operates in 10 different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company also trades in salt, sugar, and flour manufacturing. It is currently building a crude oil refinery in Lagos state, and the project has been on since 2017\/2018. It is expected to be one of the largest oil refineries in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It would be safe to say that Dangote picked up from where his grandfather left off and built an empire for himself. His grandfather was a successful rice and oat trader in Kano, which is Nigeria’s second-largest city<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Aliko Dangote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
