Dangote moved from 76th with a net worth of $11.2billion in 2012 to 43rd with a net worth of $16.1bn as of March 2013. So he made about $5billion in one year! Choi!
Dangote is still the richest man in Africa. The other Nigerian billionaire on the Forbes Billionaires list is single Paddy Adenuga's dad, Global chairman Mike Adenuga, who ranked 269 with a net worth of $4.7bn.
Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim is the world's richest man with a net worth of $73bn, while Bill Gates is the second with a net worth of the $67bn. 3rd is Armancio Ortega of Spain ($57bn), 4th is Warren Buffet ($53.5bn), and 5th is Larry Ellison with $43bn net worth.

Owo ori baba mulika!..money dat scares poverty away!...keep doin it Big bros. See his face like honey well noodles....lol
I must be rich too oooooo. Chai!
Whom God has blessed, no man can curse.
All these money he is packing, of what use are they? what will he do with that? vanity upon vanity...
Hail Jesus... I luv #success... I'm a hard working girl but I'd luv to work hard on that Carlos slim guy... Who cares about #dangote... Nor be him mate carry 1st for der...
Its nice to see Dangote increase in wealth. But what is happening to the staff who helped in making the money for him. Dangote staff are one of the worst paid people in the country. Linda u need to ask if his staff are happy.

Were u born daft or u jst work on it? Whoz talkin abt naira here? N 5billion naira is nothing to shake head for. 269 is still in d list of world's richest so is an honour. Ya girl *POSH*
Not to famz or anytin like dat,but Dangote is my uncle ooo!all of u claimers,pls shift!lolz......Dear Lord,I nid jst 5% of his wealth,amen!
Lol @ single paddy Adenuga's dad. That soulja4jesus should stop all this poverty talk abeg. God said we should have abundance so we can be a blessing to others. Your riches shouldn't stop u from serving God. God bless our hustle.
Where dis pple see money
But he is stil on d list..so there is hope
My name shall be mension oneday very soon.
Good one, wish this would affect the proverty level of Africa
Wats d use if he is d 43rd richest man wen his staff are one of the poorest paid heard only the top executives and indians earn mouth watering salaries and bonuses.Linda pls investigate
Lol @ single Paddy! What I ll celebrate here is Dangote's Success not Wealth. I like the fact that most of his investments are here in Nigeria and he has contributed immensely to the growth of the Nigerian Economy. Also love him for being a good and hardworking progeny of Dantata, that 500K given to him in 1975 has evolved to $16.1 billion dollars.
Hhmmm serious mata...lord make me rich ohhh.
Used to work there before the dangote staff status is just being hyped by the media the whole package is crap for junior staff who do majority of d wrk that amounts to this billion of $$$
God make me rich ohh.
Let him bring down the price of food stuff, He controls the 80% of the importation of rice and some other things. Kudos to him. More bless sir!
Speak for urself....it's ridiculous to think that being a true Christian and being a billionaire a mutually exclusive.
Ye, u right
LOL @no be him mate carry first....reminds me of my papa when I dey go school
Linda wrote this, and ppl keep repeating it, the man didn't make $5billion in a year o..his NET WORTH increased by $5billion....in fact it's not impossible that he might have made less money last year in total, but his worth could have still increased..all the same impressive feat..
Smiling all the way to the bank... Wealth put to action is forever increasing wealth
Correcting me in a nice way won't do u any harm miss posh, corrected myself even before u replied. Learn to be nice
So u believe he/she won't have time for church but will have time for illuminati? Wow; your thinking is unique!
Who said money is nt good? Mek Dangote com giv me jst 1 percent of his wealth na, this world is unfair o, some ar smiling in dolars while some cant evn afford a meal ticket
were the hell is general Ibrahim babagida, how come they forgot chief olusegun obasanjo how about comas maduka, ifeanyi uba, james ibori, and all the thieving ex governors this list is fraudulent it cant be complete with our senators that steal billions of naira even 4 time incumbent senate president David mark is not there na wa o
God pls grant my heart dsires.Amen

Alhaji Dangote chooooooi!Aboki dan kano.I hail ur hustle bros,abin da dadi gaskiya.U go boi,represente all da way mehn!!!
My dear trust me, I have been in ur shoes, I used to say that, and close to 1.5 million came to me though in bits of 500 in 3 months this was 2009 if I tell u today I'm bk to working for that money myself u wdnt believe. For some reason I cudnt save n put the money in investment that swallowed it, mayb becos I hadn't sweated for it( well technically I sweated. But no nEed for details) long story short I'm on a saving p now and I don't spend anyhow by calculating money before it comes, and I also deny myself of things I got back then that I can still get 20 yrs from today, God keeping me alive... But I thank God for the experience, right now if I was asked how much I wanted I wd look for needs like if I needed a car, I would say pls get me a car,or pls put down payment for a Land, but for that money to enter my hand no way, rather let all monies I have worked for be put to regenerate more income once free monies can buy physical need, note need not want! But in the end, diff things work for diff people. God bless ur hustle
He keeps moving up...nice one
Wen I grow, I will be like him
Money is good
Wat is Aliko waiting for to marry n start having kids or does he want to have grand children instead of children...mtchieww..
is it only me that saw the fact that Linda put emphasis on Mike Adenuga's son Paddy saying he is single
Lmao my sister I know what you mean. To work hard on him so your hard work can pay off.
in as much as some people in this list are my role models, I must be unsentimental to boldy say that only the devil gives this kind of wealth.
I know wat it is to be optimistic and so on. but I also know the Bible too well.
Sure a man can be wealthy through God, but think of it, this mass of wealth will negate a man's sense of life to everything Christ taught.
Rev: 18vs3: "....and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries"
Vs 23: ".....your merchants were the world's great men".
"ambitions are good, but can lead to evil if obsessed".....kosi

Ehn, ok now, you work for free..or tell your employers (or if you are a business owner, your customers) to pay you with guguru and ekpa, bcos you don't want money bcos all is vanity...
U don't need to follow paddy, aliko dangote is single himself, so leave paddy alone, paddy is not even adenuga first soon, Jide will choose wealth before him
Still the stock market is yet to recover...
Lmao!!I think he may have more than just d key,the door d key's meant 4 may also be in his possession...and quite possibly d house in which your happiness resides.
Yesso!
I cant be bothered. As far as I can afford a roof over my head and feed well, we are equal. Death is the leveler.
Wow! Money is good! I will get there in Jesus name Amen...Lol @ single *Paddy Adenuga's dad*...Linda Linda I see you o!...lol
There has to be a dangote gene in me somewhere! I insist on a DNA test. + I also hope paddy is gay! I would totally be gay for him! (˘̯˘ )(˘áµ”˘)( ˘˘̯)
If a Man has his Apartment stalked to the ceiling with Newspapers, we call him Crazy. If a Woman lives with 40 cats in her flat, we call her Nuts. But when People pathologically hoard so much cash that they impoverish an entire nation, we put them on the cover of Fortune Magazine nd pretend they are role models.
People are talking about him today including u, but I tink dats not relevant...... Wat is relevant now I s for u to make a great name for urselve also........ Wat will b say about u tomorrow, my broda and sista work hard and God will bless ur hand work

Nigerians...what has Dangote done for any of you. The man employs more Indians than Nigerians. He thrives in monopoly of key commodities due to bad government policies. He destroys other people's businesses. What book has he written to help young business men and women. Where is his charity? Open your eyes people. We must stand up and fight for equal opportunities and right in this country and stop celebrating the people that have put us all in this situation.
If they are not happy, they should quit already and u'll see the vacant spaces filled up in a few seconds!
@Anon March 5,2013 at 11:21pm why are you so bitter, is it anybody's fault dat ur own name + surname cant open mouths talkless of doors for you? who is asking you for dangote's family tree by d way, mafilomi n dasi, u sef dey form i know dangote, his first daughter married in kano....who asked u, Announcer General, u wey dem nor even know weda u dey exist for d family.....u are here insulting someone for them....ur case is very pathetic.
