Top 10 Richest Presidents in Africa 2021

It’s no longer news that African leaders aren’t exactly the most honest folks around. Just look at the number of corruption scandals that have been associated with government leaders on the continent; there’s plenty of them – and none seem to be slowing down either.

Mohammed VI is the richest president in Africa

Africa has had some very rich presidents and other political leaders, who have used their position to amass large sums of wealth. While it might not be politically correct to say so, but let’s just go on record to say that corruption exists worldwide, and it affects leaders from all backgrounds.

For instance, here is a quote from the former president of South Africa: “I am making this statement today because I have decided to voluntarily pay back money that was obtained illegally through the arms deal.” This is a confession but it is also a defense mechanism employed by the president to distract public attention from the many acts of corruption that took place during his regime as well as put public opinion in his favor once again.

Of course, there are exceptions, one great example would be Nelson Mandela. He never made any attempt to enrich himself using the power of his office for personal gains.
