Africa's wealthiest individuals have seen a modest recovery in their fortunes over the past year, reversing the decline experienced in the previous year. However, their wealth still remains below the peak levels reached in 2022. According to the 2024 Forbes list of Africa's richest people, the combined net worth of the top 20 billionaires is $82.4 billion, which is a slight increase of $900 million compared to last year's $81.5 billion. It's worth noting that the entire gain can be attributed to the return of Femi Ota Dola from Nigeria, who was last included in the list in 2017.
