Africa’s richest man, Aliko
Dangote has been rated 11th of the 50 world’s greatest leaders, according to
Fortune Magazine's sixth annual leaders list.
The list according to the
American multinational business magazine comprises leaders in "business,
government, philanthropy, and the arts, and all over the globe, ...transforming
the world and inspiring others to do the same."
The rating focused mainly
on the businesses run by the men and how they have used it to impact their
society positively.
“These thinkers, speakers,
and doers make bold choices and take big risks- and move others to do the
same,” the magazine said.
"Dangote is Africa’s
richest person—worth $16.4 billion, according to Bloomberg—and the four
publicly traded companies under the umbrella of his Dangote Industries now
account for about a third of the value of the Nigerian stock exchange.
"That wealth is based
on a big bet on Nigeria’s economic independence: Dangote’s peers give him
credit for helping the country become self-sufficient in the sectors in which
his companies compete (cement, agriculture, mining, and petroleum).
"He’s now converting
his wealth into impactful philanthropy: Dangote’s foundation, the largest in
Africa, has helped establish a top-tier business school at Nigeria’s Bayero
University; it’s also teaming up with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
to fight chronic malnutrition in Nigeria," Fortune writes about Dangote.
The top ten leaders are:
Bill and Melinda Gates,
Jacinda Ardem (Prime
Minister, New Zealand)
Robert Mueller (Special
Counsel, Department of Justice)
Pony Ma (Founder and CEO,
Tencent)
Satya Nadella (CEO,
Microsoft)
Greta Thunberg (Student and
climate activist, Sweden)
Margrethe Vestager
(Commissioner for Competition, European Union)
Anna Nimiriano
(Editor-in-Chief, Juba Monitor)
Jose Andres (Chef/Founder,
World Central Kitchen)
Dough Mcmillon and Lisa
Woods (CEO; Senior Director, Strategy & Design for U.S. Benefits, Walmart).
Meanwhile, an earlier
report by Legit.ng highlights top 15 countries with the most billionaires.
According to the latest ranking by Wealth-X's 2019 Billionaire Census, the
United States has the most billionaires in the world with 420 more people than
China.
In total, there are 705
billionaires in the US, 285 in China, 146 in Germany, 102 in Russia, and 97 in
the UK.
