The combined net worth of Nigeria’s four wealthiest individuals is $23.8 billion, according to the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List, down from $27.8 billion in Q1.

This reflects a decline of $4 billion off their combined wealth in the last eight months, due to economic headwinds, persistent devaluation of the naira as well as high inflationary pressures in the country.

These individuals play key roles in critical sectors of Nigeria’s economy and maintain significant positions on the global wealth index.

Their financial standing reflects trends in Nigeria’s economy, which is shaped by currency fluctuations, policy changes, and market forces. The refining industry, for example, is poised for growth. The Dangote Refinery is projected to impact Nigeria’s energy sector and Aliko Dangote’s position on the wealth index.

These billionaires have capitalised on opportunities while managing economic challenges, reflecting their influence on Nigeria’s economic trajectory. Their fortunes highlight the intersections of strategic decision-making and economic developments in the country.

Mike Adenuga — $6.7 billion Mike Adenuga ranks as Nigeria’s second-richest billionaire, with investments spanning telecommunications and oil production.
