Forbes has put out its list of billionaires of 2014 and it has some interesting revelations. The African Billionaires of 2014 consist of 28 men and 2 women from 9 African counties. One of the two women is Africa's youngest Billionaire at age 41. South Africa leads the pack with 10 Billionaires, followed by Egypt with 8 Billionaires. Nigeria and Morrocco both have 4 Billionaires each. The other countries represented are Angola, Algeria, Swaziland, Ethiopia, and Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also learn that just 2 billionaires are in their forties. 10 are in their fifties, 10 in their sixties, 3 in their seventies, and 5 in their eighties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

African billionaires of 2014 - Aliko Dangote on No.1 - Image Credit World Economic Forum<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Forbes has put out its list of billionaires of 2014 and it has some interesting revelations. The African Billionaires of 2014 consist of 28 men and 2 women from 9 African counties. One of the two women is Africa's youngest Billionaire at age 41. South Africa leads the pack with 10 Billionaires, followed by Egypt with 8 Billionaires. Nigeria and Morrocco both have 4 Billionaires each. The other countries represented are Angola, Algeria, Swaziland, Ethiopia, and Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also learn that just 2 billionaires are in their forties. 10 are in their fifties, 10 in their sixties, 3 in their seventies, and 5 in their eighties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

African billionaires of 2014 - Aliko Dangote on No.1 - Image Credit World Economic Forum<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Forbes has put out its list of billionaires of 2014 and it has some interesting revelations. The African Billionaires of 2014 consist of 28 men and 2 women from 9 African counties. One of the two women is Africa's youngest Billionaire at age 41. South Africa leads the pack with 10 Billionaires, followed by Egypt with 8 Billionaires. Nigeria and Morrocco both have 4 Billionaires each. The other countries represented are Angola, Algeria, Swaziland, Ethiopia, and Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also learn that just 2 billionaires are in their forties. 10 are in their fifties, 10 in their sixties, 3 in their seventies, and 5 in their eighties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His wealth grew by a billion despite the economic downturn. It is that time of year again and Forbes has put together a list of the World's richest. On it are 11 Africans 4 from one family in Egypt, 4 from South Africa, 1 from Sudan, 1 from Nigeria, and 1 from Ethiopia.\n\nThere was 1 new addition to the list this year, #Samih Sawiris<\/a>, son of Egyptian billionaire, #Onsi Sawiris<\/a> whose other 2 sons are on the list as well. Nigeria did lose a billionaire this year, Femi Otedola who had a bitter disagreement with fellow billionaire #Aliko Dangote<\/a> last year.\u00c2\u00a0Despite some major challenges, Dangote still made it on the list as the 9th richest man in Africa.\n\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"400\"]\"Mohammed<\/a> Photo By Hans Berggren<\/em>[\/caption]\n\nAfrica's Billionaires (No. 1)<\/strong>\n
