Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Africa\u2019s share of millionaires grew by 8% between 2020 and 2021, according to a recent report by intelligence firm New Word Wealth and advisory firm Henley & Partners.<\/p>\n

This year, private wealth currently held on the African continent climbed to $2.1 trillion, from $2.0 trillion last year, the annual survey of Africa\u2019s luxury sector found.<\/p>\n

\u201cTotal wealth,\u201d explains the report, \u201crefers to the private wealth held by all the individuals living in a country, including all their assets (property, cash, equities, and business interests) minus any liabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the number of African millionaires has grown, there are still not as many as there were before Covid-19. In 2010, the continent was the home of some 150,000 millionaires, 14,000 more than this year\u2019s figure.<\/p>\n

The report also outlines the uneven distribution of private wealth across the continent\u2019s geographies.<\/p>\n

Only five countries account for over 50% of Africa\u2019s total wealth: South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco, and Kenya. These countries also receive the most investment by foreign companies and register the strongest economic growth annually.n. read<\/p>\n

South-Africa itself hosts \u201cover twice as many millionaires as any other African country, while Egypt has the most billionaires on the continent,\u201d says the report.<\/p>\n

Africa is also the home to a new crop of wealthy economies in Rwanda, Uganda, and Mauritius, which are among the fastest-growing markets in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe forecast private wealth growth of over 60% in all three countries in the next decade, driven by especially strong performance in the technology and professional services sectors,\u201d says Andrew Amoils, Head of Research at New World Wealth.<\/p>\n

Among the high-net-worth individuals (HNWI), the African continent hosts 500 more multi-millionaires than last year.<\/p>\n

The recent rise of huge fortunes reveals the growing threat of wealth distribution across the continent and the need for effective regional economic policies to narrow the inequality gap.<\/p>\n

Commenting in the report, international author, and CEO of MyGrowthFund Venture Partners Vusi Thembekwayo says the rise of multi-millionaires, as well as centi-millionaires and billionaires, on the African continent, \u201csupports the idea that the continent needs to deal with the legacy industries whose ownership structures perpetuate inequality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The total private wealth held in Africa is expected to rise by 38% over the next 10 years, reaching $3 trillion by 2031, the report revealed.<\/p>\n

However, growth has not prevailed for the past few years. From 2011 to 2021, the total wealth held in Africa has fallen by 7%.<\/p>\n

This was down to economic instability due to the \u2018three Cs\u2019, namely Covid, Climate and Conflict, which slowed the accumulation of wealth on the African continent, group head of private clients at Henley & Partners Dominic Volek says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shockwaves that followed Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine have reverberated across the world, creating even greater levels of uncertainty and volatility for individuals, families, businesses, investors and governments alike,\u201d he comments in the report.<\/p>\n

Although Africa\u2019s share of global wealth has increased over the past 20 years, wealth levels in Europe and North America have always far outstripped those found in the continent.<\/p>\n

In 2021, the United States held 41% of the world\u2019s millionaires, representing around 23,600,000 million people, while Africa\u2019s share was below 0.5%.<\/p>\n

In addition, around 90% of adults in Africa own less than $10,000, while this number falls to 26% in North America.<\/p>\n
