Nigerian billionaire and businessman, Aliko Dangote is reportedly set to lose his position as the richest person in Africa.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that South African billionaire, Johann Rupert might overtake Dangote and become the richest African person in 2023 when Forbes releases its list.<\/p>\n

This is as the South African businessman emerged as the top gainer on Wednesday during trading hours on the floor of the South African Stock Exchange, gaining N58.20 billion ($140 million).<\/p>\n

While Rupert\u2019s wealth grew after Wednesday\u2019s trading, his Nigerian counterpart, Dangote lost N8.73 billion ($21 million), wiping off 0.15% from his wealth during the same period.<\/p>\n

Rupert heads a fashion and retail business named Compagnie Financiere Richemont, known for the brands, Cartier and Montblanc. Dangote on the other hand is the founder of a Cement and Sugar company.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Rupert was fourth on Africa\u2019s richest list, with $5.1 billion to his name, while Dangote stood high at number one, with a net worth estimated at $11.2 billion in the same year.<\/p>\n

Within the last ten years, Rupert\u2019s wealth has grown 105.8%, however, Dangote\u2019s net worth has experienced a slow growth of $25.8%, when compared to the South African businessman, Ripples Nigeria calculation shows.<\/p>\n

Rupert\u2019s gain in a decade has seen the billionaire take the second position behind Dangote, after adding $5.4 billion to his fortune, which is now placed at $10.5 billion by Forbes Billionaire Index.<\/p>\n

Dangote on his part, was only able to gain $2.9 billion to his wealth during the same timeframe, as the soon-to-be refinery owner is now worth $14.1 billion thanks to his cement and sugar businesses<\/p>\n
