Mogadishu (HOL) — Johann Rupert has emerged as Africa’s wealthiest individual in 2024, overtaking Aliko Dangote. Rupert’s fortune surged to $14.3 billion this year, up $1.9 billion, thanks to his leadership of Richemont, a global luxury goods conglomerate. Conversely, Dangote, valued at $13.4 billion, saw his net worth decrease due to Nigeria’s economic struggles and the depreciation of the naira.
