Re: ****** 2014 African Dollar Billionaire Rich List****** by Tranquill: 5:27pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
ducii: Well for obvious reasons those ones are still hiding their real worth. Coincidentally, Lulu-Brigg's wife is sister to Arthur Eze. I dont think its common to have one's husband and brother on forbes list. |
