The world gained 493 new billionaires in 2020, which means in every 17 hours, there was one new billionaire gained.

It is the same year that Beijing leapfrogged New York to be ranked the world’s billionaire capital.

In Africa, data from the 2021 Africa Wealth Report indicate that the ‘Big 5" wealth markets are: South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco, and Kenya. The five countries account for over 50% of Africa's total wealth, according to data from the 2021 Africa Wealth Report.

The report, which provides a comprehensive review of the wealth sector in Africa, showed that South Africa is home to over twice as many millionaires as any other on the continent, whilst Egypt has the most billionaires on the continent.

However, the revealed that the total wealth in Africa has fallen by 16% over the past decade (2010 - 2020) as the continent’s wealth result was constrained by poor economic conditions in the three largest markets, namely: South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria.
