The commercial capital of Nigeria, Lagos, for a lot of reasons, that
makes people assume that there are a tonne of millionaires roaming
around there.
Well, according to a new report by AfrAsia Bank and
global wealth intelligence and market research company, New World
Wealth, that may not be the case as the number of dollar millionaires in
Lagos may not be what you're expecting.
Follow the jump to see the number: The study defines millionaires as
people with net assets worth at least $1m (£650,000) and according to
the report, there are only 9,100 millionaires in Lagos.
Lagos is ranked third on the list of African cities with the highest
dollar millionaires and falls behind Johannesburg, which has 23,400
millionaires, and Egypt's Cairo which has 10,200. The report also
estimates that Africa is home to about only 163,000 millionaires, who
have a combined wealth of $670bn (£440bn).
According to the 2014 New World Wealth Report, the number of dollar
millionaires in Nigeria is expected to jump to 23,000 by 2017, after
increasing by 44 percent over the past six years to 15,700 in 2013.
