Summary: Forbes has compiled its annual list of Africa's wealthiest business people - here are the ten sitting at the top.

It has been a habit of taking African continent as the home of poor who can’t have their own income satisfy their economies but Forbes has changed this notion and named ten African billionaires in the World Economic Forum, early this year.
These African billionaires have got their income without any assistance from the developed countries hence making a new page of billionaires apart from the common American, Russian, Chines and Europeans.
