Nigerian billionaire and business mogul, Aliko Dangote has been named as one of the World’s 200 Richest People by Bloomberg.
Bloomberg Markets’ inaugural list of the
world’s richest people, in the magazine’s December 2012 issue,
showcases the billionaires who pull the levers on the global economy. As
noted on the magazine’s website, the ranking shows who’s on top
(America Movil SAB Chairman Emeritus Carlos Slim, with a net worth of
$77.5 billion), who’s faltering (Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Officer
Mark Zuckerberg, who’s down $6.8 billion since Jan. 1) and who’s just
wealthy enough to make the top 200 (SAS Institute Inc. co-founder John
Sall, who’s worth $5.8 billion).
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, both in the top five, are household names. At the number 3 position is Amancio Ortega of
Spain. The 76-year-old founded Inditex SA, the world’s largest clothing
retailer, which is known for its more than 1,600 trendy Zara stores. He
made more than $18 billion from the start of the year through Oct. 5 or
about $66 million a day.
Aliko Dangote was listed on the 62nd
position with a total net worth of $13.5 billion. The 55 year-old CEO of
Dangote Cement has made another $3.5 billion so far this year,
increasing his wealth by 34.5%
