The 8 Richest African Presidents

Africa is the second largest continent in the world. It is also world’s second most populous continent and regarded as the poorest continent. There are 47 African nations led by leaders who have been ruling for over a decade. Some of these leaders and their families are very rich and their wealth are considered ill-gotten. They make their wealth from natural resources of these nations.

The 8 Richest African Presidents and Kings as of 2014:

8) Robert Mugabe – Net Worth: $10 Million

Country: Zimbabwe, Years in Power: 26

Robert Mugabe is the President of Zimbabwe. His net worth is estimated to be around $10 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. The dictator’s family is very wealthy. Mugabe has won many elections, although frequently these have been criticized by outsiders for violating various electoral procedures.

    Anyone noticed the trend? All, except President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya and President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, have been in power for more than 10 years. Any guess how they acquired their wealth?

      I can’t speak for Kenyatta, but am sure Goodluck is one of the most corrupt leaders in the world.. References to the missing $20billion; the $7 (#1000) that was taxed many Nigerian immigrations job seekers, of which most lost their lives, yet the money hasn’t been refunded them; The oil subsidy scam collaborations, running into billions of dollars; The currently boiling $15million illegal arms deal in South Africa, with funds released by the president from his private pockets, of which the finance minister, Mrs Ngozi Iweala, has denied allegations that she approved such funds. The list continues.

    If Mugabe has ruled for 26 years and has 10 million dollars whilst his counterparts who have ruled for 34 years have over $20 billion, shouldn’t that ring a bell that maybe he does not belong on this list… logically speaking that is…

      Logically speaking, if he is the 9th richest African President, he does belong on this list, even if his networth was $100. It’s a list about how much money they are worth, not how much corruption etc. If he was number 10 then yea, he wouldn’t belong on a top 9.

      If criticising a poorly-written piece of work makes me part of the administration, then so be it. Seriously, re-read the article, my comments, and yours and realise what a pathetic rebuttal you made. But then again, nothing much can be expected from a one-liner such as yours. Cheap shots!

      I guess you come from one of the class of neo-colonialists (who don’t even realise they are) that still thinks it’s okay to make flippant, disparaging remarks about Africa because chances are, there are many just like you out there who will take on board your comments without question – After all, there are many ‘bad things’ to say about Africa, right?

      Yet, if you stepped out of your bubble for a second you’d realise the irony of your worldview – how corruption on the African continent is intrinsically tied to the Western world. Last I checked, stolen money in Africa doesn’t remain in African banks. It easily makes its way to Western capitals thanks to willing facilitators in the name of bankers, accountants and lawyers. Yet, Westerners like you want to “preach” to “sordid Africans” how corrupt they are.

      Do us all a favour the next time you decide you want to get on your high-horse and ask your own government to “begin charity at home”!

    I can’t speak for any other leader on this list. But being a Nigerian, I can hardly fault this publication except where it mentioned that our dear President Goodluck Jonathan is worth just $100million. Permit me to say that this is an insult to his personality!! Ordinary $100million dollars? Let ,me inform you that my president’s Petroleum minister, spent more than $100million, on her private jet travels, in a space of 4yrs. Even when the senate tried probing him, thye case was struck out, on the grounds that the money is mere peanuts. Do you know the worth of David mark, our Senate president? You are just insulting these people, and am not happy with this..

    Next time, this paper should do her research extensively before rushing to publish reports that will undervalue anyone’s net worth.. Read up publications on presidential corruption in Nigeria—-References to the missing $20billion; the
    $7 (#1000) that was taxed many Nigerian immigrations job seekers, of
    which most lost their lives, yet the money hasn’t been refunded them;
    The oil subsidy scam collaborations, running into billions of dollars;

    funds released by the president from his private pockets, of which the
    finance minister, Mrs Ngozi Iweala, has denied allegations that she
    approved such funds.— The list continues.

    At the moment, my president has threatened to sue this paper for undervaluing him, and I understand his provocation. I understand that this was why this site hurriedly removed his name from this publication. Am backing him to go ahead and sue this paper, as this will definitely serve a deterrence to all those in the habit of undervaluing others

I have very good and close friends who are Nigerian, I love and respect the country, people and culture. But lets not be naive, I might be oyinbo but I’m not stupid. Jonathan and most of his admin are crooks.

    It is no coincidence that all but two of the countries governed by these leaders rank in the “low human development” category of the Human Development Index table, 2014, and the two countries that rank as “medium human development” rank in the bottom third of all countries.
