Forbes' 2026 Africa Billionaires list includes a handful of younger billionaires who have built fortunes in sectors such as manufacturing, telecommunications, energy, mining, and diversified investments. The ranking reorders the 23 African billionaires by age rather than wealth, with ties broken by their original Forbes ranking. Mohammed Dewji, a Tanzanian businessman, is the youngest at 51, with a net worth of $2.1 billion. He serves as CEO of METL, a conglomerate founded by his father in the 1970s.
