South Africa’s Johann Rupert has displaced Nigeria billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote to become Africa’s richest man.

According to Forbes Real-time Global Billionaires List, Aliko Dangote is on number 172 with a net worth of $10.7 billion behind South Africa’s Johann Rupert & Family who is ranked 145 with net worth of $12 billion.

While some Analysts say Aliko Dangote’s fall from the top spot on Africa’s billionaires list may not be linked to the recent Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) unified dollars rate
