How Much is Nicky Oppenheimer Worth ($8.7 Billion South Africa)

 

I was not surprised to see a South African clinch the number 3 spot, to be honest with you. 

 

I mean diamond is one of the most expensive stones in the world right? 

 

and South Africa is known to produce some of the rarest diamonds in the world.

and according to thesouthafrican.com Oppenheimer got this idea from his grandson who said:

 

We have been fortunate to have more than others and in this period it’s only okay to give back to the people. 

 

This according to Nicky put joy on his face to be able to give back and not expect anything in return. 

 

It’s time to answer your question about who is he! 

 

Nicholas Oppenheimer is a business mogul in diamonds and a South African philanthropist who was once the director of Anglo America.

NEXT: the next person on this list of the top 10 richest people in Africa 2022 is Nassef Sawiris. 

 

How Much is Nassef Sawiris Worth $8.3 B Egypt

 

Nassef is one of the top 50 richest men in Africa precisely the 4th person on the top 10 richest people in Africa 2020.

 

but hey I have to say that didn’t come as a surprise knowing how wealthy this man is. 

History says Egyptians held world power at the earliest formation of planet earth. 

 

In Nigerian Pidgin English, there is this popular saying “Power must change hand”. 

 

It means one man or group of people, the country cannot be in power forever. 

 

The US, for example, is the modern-day world power as you and I know it. 

 

Today Egypt is nowhere near the tables of world power, not even the G5 from which Russia was excommunicated. 

 

Well, I do be looking up to when Africa can rise up to such a place ever again but in my head not in the next 100 years even.
