Interesting Statistics on Africa’s Wealth Distribution

While the top billionaires in Africa are incredibly wealthy, the majority of the continent’s population still lives below the poverty line. Here are some interesting statistics that highlight Africa’s wealth distribution:

  • There are only 25 billionaires in Africa, with a combined net worth of $75.4 billion.
  • The top 1% of Africa’s population holds 42% of the continent’s wealth.
  • The bottom 50% of Africa’s population holds less than 10% of the continent’s wealth.
  • In 2020, Africa’s GDP was $2.59 trillion, representing 2.4% of the world’s GDP.

These statistics reveal that while Africa is home to some incredibly wealthy individuals, the vast majority of the population remains poor. Economic inequality is a significant issue on the continent, with many individuals struggling to access basic necessities such as food and healthcare.
