Forbes names Dangote 23rd richest in the world, Bill Gates



According to a Forbes magazine list released
yesterday Monday March 3rd, Nigerian
industrialist, Aliko Dangote is the 23rd richest
man in the world. Wow! He made history as the
first black man to break into the rank of top 25
richest people in the world.
In 2012, he was the 76th richest man in the
world. He moved from that to 43rd richest man
in 2013 and now to 23rd in 2014 with his wealth
jumping from $16.1billion to $25billion.
The next Nigerian on the list is Glo chief Mike
Adenuga, who is 325th richest person with
$4.6bn. Then Mrs Folorunsho Alakija in 687th
position with a personal wealth of $1.2bn.
Former Microsoft chairman Bill Gates takes back
the No.1 position as the richest man in the
world with $76billion. Geez! If you lived ten life
times, you probably won't be able to finish
$76b.
