Forbes Releases New list of World Richest People In 2022,See Africans who Made the List

Forbes magazine has released the list of richest men in the world with eight out of the top 10 from the United States, with a French and Indian leading the list.

THECONSCIENCEng reports that America still leads the world, with 735 billionaires worth a collective $4.7 trillion, including Elon Musk, who tops the world’s billionaires list for the first time ahead of Jeff Bezos. Independent UK reports that Musk was only worth $2 billion in 2012, meaning he has made over $218 billion (over N90.61trn) in 10 years.

This year’s ranking is Forbes’ 36th and has more than 1,000 billionaires who are richer than they were a year ago.

 Dangote was ranked 130th on the list with a net worth of $14 billion. The next Africans to appear on the list after the Nigerian business mogul is South African Johan Ruppert and his family. He placed 230th on the list with a net worth of $8.9 billion. Another South African, Nicky Oppenheimer comes third in Africa and 241st in the world with a net worth of $8.7 billion.

 Egyptian construction and investment magnate comes in at the 304th position with a net worth of $7.7 billion.

Mike Adenuga of Nigeria rounds up the top 5 Africans on the list with a position of 324th and net worth of $7.3 billion.
