AFRICA’S Wealthiest Business People The number of billionaires in Africa has multiplied at an astonishing rate in recent years; in 2003 Forbes Magazine counted only two but in 2015 the number has soared to 27. The combined wealth of the top ten richest business people in Africa comes to an estimated $65.8 billion which means they represent roughly 2.5 percent of Africa’s total $2.7 trillion wealth, as estimated in 2013 by Credit Suisse.
