2. Alhaji Aliko Dangote
Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, owns a luxury yacht called the ‘Mariya’ which he purchased in 2013. Very little is known about the yacht – who built it or how big it is. Reports have it that the boat costs about $43 million.
Photos on the internet show that the yacht looks exactly like the one owned by oil magnate, Femi Otedola only slightly smaller.
After purchasing it, Dangote had the custom made yacht docked right next to the one belonging to Dangote’s close friend and fellow Forbes billionaire, Femi Otedola.
Alhaji Dangote is known for being a go-getter. Earlier this year he put out a bid to buy controlling shares in UK club, Arsenal FC but his move was thwarted by other top contenders.
