Forbes names Dangote 23rd richest in the world, Bill Gates No.1

According to a Forbes
magazine list released
yesterday Monday March 3rd,
Nigerian industrialist, Aliko
Dangote is the 23rd richest
man in the world.

Wow! He
made history as the first black
man to break into the rank of
top 25 richest people in the
world.

In 2012, he was the 76th
richest man in the world. He
moved from that to 43rd
richest man in 2013 and now
to 23rd in 2014 with his wealth
jumping from $16.1billion to
$25billion.

The next Nigerian on the list is
Glo chief Mike Adenuga, who is
325th richest person with
$4.6bn. Then Mrs Folorunsho
Alakija in 687th position with a
personal wealth of $2.5bn.

Former Microsoft chairman Bill
Gates takes back the No.1
position as the richest man in
the world with $76billion. Geez!
If you lived ten life times, you
probably won't be able to finish
$76b.
