Dangote can start moving over while tech entrepreneurs like Iroko Partners Founder, Jason Njorku make their way to the Forbes lists.
Forbes lists Njorku, 31, as well as fellow Nigerian, Founder and CEO, Bakrie Delano Africa, Ladi Delano, 30, as one of their “Young African Millionaire’s To Watch.”
Njorku received $8 million in funding back in March from Tiger Global Management and with the success of iROKOtv so far, it is believed by analysts to be worth as much as $30 million. According to Forbes, “Njoku is the company’s largest individual shareholder.”
After the success of Nollywood Love, Iroko Partners launched iROKOtv last year and has continued to see growth since then with almost 500,000 users so far.
Other tech entrepreneurs made the list as well, including Yola Founder, Vinny Lingham, 33, from South Africa, whose company also made Forbes’ Top 20 Startups in Africa.
Six of the 10 entrepreneurs are making their money from technology or internet-based companies. I think that says enough about where the future lies.
