Call me fickle but I love to read about succesful entrepreneurs from the continent. There will definitely be a lot more added to this blog.
According to Forbes the 60 year old is the 77th richest man in the world with a total net worth of some $7bn. Born in Ethiopia and now a Saudi citizen, Al Amoudi made his fortune in construction and real estate before betting on Swedish and Moroccan oil refineries. His Svenska Petroleum conducts oil exploration from the Nordic shelf to the Ivory Coast. He is the largest private investor in Ethiopia, putting money into such diverse assets as a hotel, gold mines and a food processing plant.
Nazret reports that he has invested more than $1 billion in Ethiopia, from hotels to gold mines. Last fall celebrated the year 2000 in the Ethiopian Orthodox calendar with international artists performing in his new 20,000 seat concert hall in Addis Ababa.
