Egyptians dominate Forbes’ list of the nine richest persons in Africa, according to the magazines’ Middle East edition. The top nine list, part of Forbes’ broader listing of 23 African bn’aires, unsurprisingly includes members of the Sawiris and Mansour families, with the remaining three spots belonging to Moroccan and Algerian business leaders. Nassef Sawiris is first on the list with a net worth of USD 6.8 bn, Algerian Issad Rebrab in second at USD 4 bn, with Naguib Sawiris rounding out the top three, also at c. USD 4 bn.
