These Are The Richest Kings in Africa and Their Net Worth
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Hitherto, Africa was ruled by Kings who were seriously powerful men who had dynasties that spread far and had control over millions of lives.

Some of them were very rich individuals who commandeered great influence. Modernity swept the globe and Africa was not spared and kings and queens are not at the mercy of democracy and its accessories.

As the influence of the monarchs dwindled over the years, the smart ones among them divested into corporate businesses and other ventures, thereby leaving Africa with very few, yet very wealthy monarchs.

Mansa Musa was born in 1280 into a family of rulers. His brother, Mansa Abu-Bakr, ruled the empire until 1312, when he abdicated to go on an expedition.

After Mansa Musa died in 1337, aged 57, the empire was inherited by his sons who could not hold the empire together. The smaller states broke off and the empire crumbled.

It is worthy of note that net worth of these kings are controversial, as other sources put their worth at variance with the ones herein.
