Forbes Publishes Africa Richest Men’s List As Dangote Maintains Top Spot by Nnamdd1(m): 1:49pm On Jan 31, 2017
On this year’s list, Forbes is only including African billionaires living in Africa, instead of featuring Africa's 50 richest people.

There are 21 billionaires on this year's list, worth a combined $70 billion.

Nigeria's Aliko Dangote remains Africa’s richest person for the sixth year running with a $12.1 billion fortune, despite a nearly $5 billion drop in his net worth for the second year in a row.

Dangote is joined by just two other Nigerian billionaires on this year’s list, telecom tycoon Mike Adenuga, who is Africa’s third richest person with an estimated $5.8 billion fortune, and oil billionaire Folorunsho Alakija, who has an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.

Two Nigerians dropped off the Billionaires List this year, oil marketer Femi Otedola, whose net worth dropped from $1.6 billion in November 2015 to $330 million today, and sugar billionaire Abdulsamad Rabiu, whose net worth dropped below $1 billion in the wake of a weakened Nigerian currency.

Full list below.
