The Richest Man in Africa, Aliko Dangote has revealed that he didn’t inherit any property from his father.
According to him, he built his empire from scratch.
There’s a popular rumour that his father was rich in his prime so Dangote was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.
However, the CEO of Dangote Cement has debunked all these claims in a new interview.
Aliko Dangote is valued at $14B by Forbes making him the 95th richest person in the world. He has the largest cement company in Africa and his refinery in Ibeju-Lekki when completed is set to be one of the largest in the world.
He noted that his father was also rich but he did not allow the wealthy to get into his head as he strove to build his.
