Africa’s richest man (according to Forbes), Dangote, who is worth $15.7 billion, recently got everyone taking when he disclosed his interest in purchasing football club, Arsenal,valued at $1.49bn.
In an interview he did with Bloomberg while traveling in a private jet from Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa to Lagos on May 1, Dangote said he’ll love to buy the club when the price is right, “I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team” he said.
But we have got a better idea.
We know he has a staff strength of about 50, 000 and hopes to have about 150,000 in a few years, so it would be more awesome if he peradventure took some of his staff on an adventurous trip.
How? Let him take a cue from Chinese billionaire, Li Jinyuan.
The chairman Tiens Group Company, took 6,400 of his staff on a 4-day holiday to France which finished with a world-record breaking human chain in Cote D’Azur.
