As of recent reports, here’s how the distribution of billionaires looks across Africa:
1. **South Africa**: 6 billionaires
2. **Egypt**: 5 billionaires
3. **Nigeria**: 4 billionaires
4. **Morocco**: 3 billionaires
5. **Tanzania**, **Algeria**, **Zimbabwe**: 1 billionaire each
These numbers highlight the concentration of billionaire wealth in a few African countries. South Africa leads with the highest number of billionaires on the continent, followed by Egypt and Nigeria. Morocco also features prominently with three billionaires, contributing to Africa’s overall billionaire count.
Compared to global figures where countries like the United States and China have hundreds of billionaires each, Africa’s billionaire population is relatively smaller but still significant in its economic impact within their respective countries and regions.
