Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man has revealed two factors that make people rich.
He said ICT and Agriculture are the most important factors to focus on if you want to be successful in life.
Dangote also mentioned that he withdrew $10 million just to look at it and convince himself that he is rich.
Speaking at the Mo Ibrahim governance weekend, Dangote said he knew he was rich on paper, but had to convince himself that he was indeed rich.
To do this, the multi-billionaire said he drove to a bank, withdrew $10 million, took it home, put it on his bed, looked at it, and returned it back to the bank the following day.
Dangote added that he took it back to the bank the next day after his mission was concluded.
The Nigerian businessman has been the richest man in Africa for nearly a decade, following the expansion of his cement business, and the change of model to focus on local manufacturing.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Dangote is the 74th richest man in the world as of April 6, and he is valued at $16.4 billion.
