Popular businessman Aliko Dangote is edging closer to another historic milestone, days after his wealth was estimated at almost $29 billion.
Recall that updated figures from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index show that Aliko’s worth has grown to $29.3 billion, getting him closer to setting a record as the 1st African to be worth $30 billion.
The updated estimate is coming as Dangote’s life is taking a different turn. He recently quit his role as chairman of Dangote Cement Plc, his flagship company, to focus completely on his $20 billion Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals.
