The richest self-made woman in Africa and one of just two female billionaires on the continent. Folorunsho Alakija's first company was an upscale fashion label that catered to Nigeria's elite, including the wife of the former military president, Ibrahim Babangida. This connection paid off: the president later gave Alakija's company a prospecting license for one of the most lucrative oil fields in Nigeria.

Many more years ma.
