Private wealth in Africa according to the report, will leap 65% over the next decade to $4 trillion in new annual estimates, fuelled by growth in fintech, eco-tourism and business process outsourcing.
Additional sectors like software development, rare metals mining, green tech, wealth management, media, and entertainment will further bolster the continent’s wealth surge.
At the moment, Africa has some $2.5 trillion in investable wealth held by its millionaires, centi-millionaires, and billionaires.
