Billionaire Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote has fallen
from being the 51st richest person in the world to the 105th, according to the
2017 Forbes Rich List.
Forbes magazine reports that Mr Dangote's wealth dropped
from $15.4bn (£11.8bn) in 2016 to $12.2bn this year, due to Nigeria's currency
being devalued.
Mr Dangote, who made his fortune in the production of
cement, sugar and flour, made international headlines in 2016 when he said he
wanted to buy Arsenal Football Club within the next four years.
Yesterday, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos briefly overtook Bill
Gates as the world's richest man on Forbes' real-time ranking, but later
dropped back to second place. bbc
