Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Abdulsamad Rabiu and Femi Otedola are the only Nigerians who made it into the Forbes 2024 billionaires list. Forbes said there are now 2,781 billionaires globally — rising by 141 compared to 2023 data and 26 more than the record set in 2021. “They’re richer than ever, worth $14.2 trillion in the aggregate, up by $2 trillion from 2023 and $1.1 trillion above the previous record, also set in 2021,” Forbes said.
“Two-thirds of the list’s members are worth more than a year ago; only one-fourth are poorer. “Much of the gains come from the top 20, who added a combined $700 billion in wealth since 2023, and from the U.S., which now boasts a record 813 billionaires worth a combined $5.7 trillion. “China remains second, with 473 (including Hong Kong) worth $1.7 trillion, despite weak consumer spending and a real estate bust that helped wipe out $200 billion in wealth and knocked 89 billionaires from the rank
