3. Ifeanyi Ubah – Ifeanyi Ubah FC
Net Worth: $3 billion (£2.4 billion)
As at 1990/91, Ifeanyi, who had gone fully into business at 16, was one of the youngest millionaires at the age of 19. He was a big player in the tire and auto parts export trade from Nigeria to Ghana and Sierra Leone. He gradually expanded to Liberia, where he was probably planning to settle but the Liberian war affected his business and forced him back to Lagos. He’s the president of the Nigerian community in DRC, as DR Congo is a strong base of his auto parts export business.
The father of 5 is a philanthropist, creating jobs for about 3,000 Nigerian youths and he currently has a football team in the Nigerian Professional Football League. Ifeanyi Ubah FC (IUFC) aka “Anambra Warriors” is that team.
