Elon Musk loses almost double of Aliko Dangote’s wealth

-

 

World richest person, Elon Musk, lost the total wealth of Aliko Dangote and more on Thursday, as his fortune dwindled by 10.7 percent after trading hours in the United States.

Musk, who is the founder of car manufacturer, Tesla and satellite company, SpaceX, saw his wealth decline following a dip in Tesla’s share value yesterday, which fell by 11.17 percent to end trading at $829.10, against its opening of $933.36.

This dip caused Musk to lose $24.5 billion from his wealth, according to Forbes Billionaire Index, which now estimated the tech boss’ fortune to be $218.3 billion as of Thursday.

He, however, retained his position on the wealthiest persons ranking, sitting comfortably above Bernard Arnault & family, owner of LVMH, whose fortune was put at $193.6 billion, making him the second richest.

Musk’s $24.5 billion is almost double of what Forbes estimated Dangote to be worth, after the African richest man also lost substantial amount to the tune of $856 million from his wealth.

This dragged the cement boss fortune down by 5.92 percent, days after he was reported as the richest man on the continent. His total worth was estimated around $13.6 billion, as at the last ranking.

Lagos alone welcomed an estimated 1.2 million tourists, of which 60% were domestic travellers, the report revealed.   This surge was partly attributed to insecurity in southeastern Nigeria, which prompted many to prioritise Lagos which is deemed safer.   Most arrivals came for leisure and tourism, while preferred destinations in Nigeria, for visitors coming from abroad, included Lagos, Edo, Delta, Ondo, and Ogun states.   Kayode Omosebi, CEO of MO Africa Company Limited, says his team surveyed hotels, airports, short-let agents, and nightclubs to compile the data. Omosebi noted the increasing reliance on cryptocurrency in Lagos’ h...

Standing here together, we know this truth: love isn’t perfect, and neither are we. But that’s what makes it so beautiful.   Marriage is a journey, not a destination. There were days we laughed so hard we couldn’t breathe, and there were days we weren’t sure we’d make it through. There were seasons of sunshine, and there were storms that tested the strength of our foundation. But through it all, we chose each other.
