Folorunsho Alakija,61, was named by Forbes Africa as one of the richest women in Africa, a few days ago. Now, another online publication, Ventures Africa has ranked her as the World’s Richest Black Woman. According to the report, she has ousted Oprah Winfrey from the position.
Ventures Africa claims
that contrary to the Forbes Magazine ranking which pegs her net worth
at only $600 million, Alakija is actually worth at least $3.3 billion.
The Ventures Africa report
also claimed that Alakija has a real estate portfolio worth over $100
million. Earlier this year, Nigerian and British media announced that
Alakija acquired a property at One Hyde Park for $102 million.
She owns a Bombardier Global Express
6000 which she bought earlier this year for a reported $46 million. She
is the founder of the Rose of Sharon foundation, a Christian-based
charity which gives out small grants to widows.
Alakija is married to Modupe Alakija and they have four grown-up sons together.
