Report Says Lagos Has 4 Billionaires,360 Multimillionaires And 6,800 Millionaires

Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria has been ranked the fourth wealthiest city in Africa.



With no other Nigerian cities listed in the ten-city fortune club, the nation’s commercial nerve-centre automatically clinches the wealthiest spot among Nigerian major cities.

In a report by AfrAsia Bank and New World Wealth, Lagos, considered to be home to

US$120 billion Africa’s wealth, is only topped by two South-African cities; Johannesburg and Cape Town as well as Egyptian city of Cairo.

The Nigerian state is unofficially believed to be most populous too in the country.

Four billionaires in dollars are mentioned to be resident in Lagos, with 360 multi-millionaires and 6,800 millionaires.

Two Forbes-recognized wealthiest Nigerians, Femi Otedola of Zenon Oil and Mike Adenuga of Globacom reside in Lagos.

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote also has investment in the city.

The report says by “Total wealth”, it refers to the “private wealth held by all the individuals living in each city. It includes all their assets (property, cash, equities and business interests) less any liabilities. We exclude government funds from our figures.”

Cities ranked below Lagos include, Nairobi in Kenya, Luanda, Durban, Pretoria, Casablanca and Accra.

While Nigeria, Ghana, Morocco, Egypt, Angola and Kenya have a city each to their fortune consideration, South-Africa has five of its cities listed, making it the richest country in Africa.

    3. Sooo innacurate! The money bags would rather be silent so this research won't even brush them.

    4. Read very well, you will see that the billionaires they are talking about is in dollars. Read again.

      Now re-evaluate those people , then come and tell us if they make that list.

    5. AgelessT is right. They are talking sbout billionaire in dollars. Speaking of billionaire, didn't they say otedola lost money and now a millionaire in dollars not billionaire in dollars again? 😯

      Delete
    6. My dear @ Ageless, there are plenty silent infact hush billionaires in dollars than what they wrote there, trust me. Did anyone ever hear of the billionaires that paid 1million dollars alone as ransom and the man is still standing. No be when Evans waa caught that we started hearing some of their investments. My dear, we only hear of Mike Adenuga and Otedola as related to oil. Plenty others prefer to remain anonymous oh. I don use my eyes see some sef.

    7. Absolute rubbish @Shyla!

      Just because someone paid $1m ransome doesn't make them a billionaire IN DOLLARS. Most people will give up all their worldly wealth to save their lives because if you die what use is the money? Someone worth $5m can pay $1m for ransome

      Delete
    8. @Fabmum, most of these money bags are gradually recovering from the recession just as the country itself. Otedola is majorly into oil and gas. And you will agree with me that oil sector is gradually recovering. So it is safe to say he's back on the dollar billionaires list.

      @naija dj, loud your second paragraph.
