@gathinga,
Mwafrika???..The only entrepreneurs we have in Africa are thieves in high places......Sadly,even when left with vaults open for years on end,they still can't steal any amount close to Helu's worth.

eeeeH Bwana! Pity the list does not include presidents...Or perhaps the problem is it's difficult to live in the third world with $billions so some disown.

See now for 2010: (pos, name, citizen, billions)

127 Nassef Sawiris, Egypt, $5.9

i thought our very own MO1 was one of the richest in the continent. and what about the abacha family. if they could afford to "refund" US$ 1 billion to the broda's government how much more are they hiding somewhere.

Now Wazuans were agog when Carlos Slim from a developing third world country became richest honcho.

But not to worry, several Kenyans are 'living larger' than this guy. What with his starkly frugal lifestyle. 'He has lived in the same house for about 40 years and drives an aging Mercedes Benz'.

PS:
@bkismat not a fair comment. Perhaps you mean not dark skinned; black is not synoynmous with African.
