Dangote drops $3.7bn as Naira falls

African richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, fell 25 places on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index on Monday as the naira tumbled on its first day of trading without a peg to the U.S. dollar.

His fortune fell $3.7 billion, knocking him to No. 71 on the Bloomberg ranking, down from No. 46 on Friday. The majority of Dangote’s $12.7 billion fortune is derived from a 91 per cent stake in Dangote Cement Plc, which shed 2 per cent in trading Monday.

The Central Bank of Nigeria began auctioning dollars to limit the currency’s decline. The bank had been using capital controls to stem an outflow of dollars after the naira crashed in February 2015 when oil prices slumped.

Dangote’s slide came as equity markets worldwide surged on hopes that British voters would choose to remain in the European Union. The upswing lifted the collective net worth of the 400 billionaires on the index by $44 billion to $3.99 trillion. Amancio Ortega, Europe’s richest person, French luxury billionaire Bernard Arnault and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos led with respective daily gains of $2 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion.

After Dangote, the second-biggest drop belonged to U.S. casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, whose Las Vegas Sands fell 5.6 percent along with other gambling stocks after reports that revenue was trending downward. Adelson, who lost $1.1 billion Monday, is the world’s 29th-richest person with $23.3 billion.

  • M. E. wird das Spiel am Sonntag auf der rechten Seite entscheiden. Unter Korkut spielt Hannover mit zwei Viererketten, die sehr darauf achten, die Mitte dicht zu machen. Beide offensiveren Außenspieler rückten gegen Wolfsburg und Gladbach stark nach Innen und gaben die Flügel preis (gegen Gladbach auch in der richtigen Annahme, dass Flanken keinen kopfballstarken Abnehmer finden – siehe Raffael und Kruse). Farfan gegen den langsamen Schulz könnte das Schlüsselduell sein. Ihn ins Spiel zu bringen, sollte mit Ushida besser gelingen als mit Höwedes. Den sähe ich hingegen lieber gegen den auftrumpfenden Bittencourt. Die linke Seite mit Kolasinac und Obasi wird wohl so bleiben; hat gegen Wolfsburg recht gut geklappt. Santana und Matip haben zuletzt weitgehend überzeugt, auch wenn ich bei Santana stets “Puls” kriege, weil er immer ein, zwei absolute Katastrophenbälle im Repertoire hat. Insoweit könnte ich mir vorstellen, dass Höwedes und Matip die Innenverteidigung bilden und auch recht gut zu Rudnevs und Diouf passen.
