In March 2023, Forbes released its annual ranking with Aliko Dangote as Africa’s richest; however, as of July 13, 2023, the global authoritative ranking has listed South African luxury goods magnate Johann Rupert, as Africa’s richest with a real-time net worth of 11.9billion as at July 12, 2023 vs Aliko Dangote’s Networth of $10.6 billion as at July 12, 2023.
