Spark inspiration with Africa’s top 10 billionaires

Sharing the list with his older brother, Nassef Sawiris (60), the investor and descendent of Egypt’s wealthiest family holds the title of 2nd place on the list. His net worth of $8.5 billion is largely due to his nearly 6% stake in sportswear marker Adidas. Continuing his theme of sport-centric acquisitions he obtained a 5% stock in the New York-listed Madison Square Garden Sport. A diverse magnate, he runs OCI, one of the world’s largest Nitrogen fertilizer producers. His holdings include stakes in cement giants, engineering, and building firms.
