FOLLOWING a surge in the market value of his publicly listed companies on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, Zimbabwean billionaire businessman Strive Masiyiwa has once again joined the exclusive group of African billionaires with a net worth of $2 billion or more.
Despite experiencing a $100-million decline in his net worth between April 5 and April 15, Masiyiwa, Zimbabwe’s richest man, has made a swift recovery, with his net worth surging to $2 billion in just 18 days, surpassing its previous value of $1.9 billion.
The recent surge in Masiyiwa’s net worth has brought his year-to-date wealth gains to $800 million, up from $700 million just three weeks ago.
This solidifies his status not only as one of the world’s wealthiest Black billionaires but also as Southern Africa’s second-richest Black billionaire.
With a net worth of $2 billion, Masiyiwa is also recognized as one of Africa’s most successful businessmen. According to Forbes, he currently holds the 1,538th spot on the list of the world’s wealthiest people. – Billionaires Africa
