Africa’s billionaires have reached an impressive milestone, with their collective fortune now surpassing $100 billion for the first time. A total of 22 individuals have secured spots on Forbes’ 2025 Billionaires List, marking a remarkable leap from last year’s total of $82.4 billion. This surge in wealth is particularly striking given the continent’s ongoing economic challenges, ranging from currency fluctuations and political instability to shifting consumer markets. Yet, Africa’s wealthiest have managed to thrive, leveraging strategic investments, tapping into global market trends, and capitalizing on resilient industries.
Leading the pack once again is Nigeria’s Aliko Dangote, who has held the title of Africa’s richest man for an astounding 14th consecutive year. He is joined by prominent figures such as South African luxury magnate Johann Rupert and Egyptian construction mogul Nassef Sawiris. While some billionaires made a powerful comeback this year, others faced financial setbacks. Below is the full list, ranked in ascending order of wealth.
