According to a Ventures Africa article Mrs Folorusho Alakija is now the richest black woman in the world not media mogul Oprah Winfrey (who is worth 2.7 billion dollars).
The article breaks down Mrs Alakija’s total net worth and pegs it at $6.4 billion not $600 Million as stated in last week’s Forbes Africa Top 40 Africa Rich List which put her at Number 21.
6.4 Billion DOLLARS!!! Oprah’s net worth doesn’t even come up to half of hers!
Here’s the breakdown of her wealth:
According to Fool.co.uk, OML 30 currently produces 35,000 barrels of oil per day.
So, if 45 percent of a 35,000 bpd-producing oil bloc is $850 million, 100 percent of the same bloc = $1.88 billion i.e 100/45 x $850 million
If a 100 percent stake in a 35,000 bpd-producing oil bloc is $1.88 billion, by the same logic, a 100 percent stake in 200,000 bpd-producing oil bloc is worth $10.74 billion i.e 200,000 bpd/35,000 bpd X $1.88 billion
Folorunsho Alakija’s 60 percent stake in a $10.74 billion oil well is worth $6.44 billion.
Technically, her 60 percent stake in OML 127 is worth $6.44 billion.
