The Chairman of  Globacom Telecomms and Conoil Plc, Dr. Michael Adenuga, Jnr, has recorded a remarkable feat amongst world’s richest men by becoming 2 times richer in one week one week!

On the Forbes rich list, BusinessCabal.com gathered that the 62 year-old ‘trillionaire’ multiplied his net-worth, from $3.1 billion (between Sunday, February 14, 2016) to $9.9 billion (and Monday, February 22, 2016), a difference of $6.8 billion.

With a vast investments in oil, telecoms, property and several others, the silent businessman moved from number 551 to 111 on the list.

At his peak on the list, he was worth $4.7 billion, but managed to record $10.3 billion against his name last week.

However, by Monday, the net-worth hovered at $9.9 billion.
