According to Forbes, Dangote’s 93 per cent stake in his cement company is now worth $19.5 billion. Add this to his controlling stakes in other publicly-listed companies like Dangote Sugar and National Salt Company of Nigeria and his significant shareholdings in other blue-chips like Zenith Bank, UBA Group and Dangote Flour; his extensive real estate portfolio, jets, yachts and current cash position, which includes more than $300 million in recently awarded Dangote Cement dividends, Dangote is now worth more than $20 billion’.
Dangote now joins the top 25 richest people in the world, richer than Russia’s richest man, Alisher Usmanov, India’s Lakshmi Mittal. He is catching up to such Americans as Google’s billionaire founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Wow!!! So Nigeria have this kind of money???
