🌍 The world’s 10 richest people control ~$2.3T. That’s nearly the same as the entire economy of Africa ($2.8T). What does that say about power, opportunity, and justice?
đź“Š The Numbers
• Africa’s GDP (2025 est.): ~$2.8 trillion
• Combined wealth of the world’s top 10 richest men: ~$2.3 trillion
👉 That’s 82% of Africa’s annual economic output — concentrated in just 10 hands.
🔍 Why This Matters
• Wealth concentration at its peak: 10 individuals nearly equal the productivity of 54 nations and 1.4B people.
• The paradox: trillions in the hands of a few, while millions lack electricity, clean water, and healthcare.
• The lesson: economic power is not evenly distributed — it’s a system that rewards those who build, not just consume.
đź’ˇ The Hook
This isn’t just about billionaires. It’s about global imbalance — and the urgency for Africa to shift from being the resource provider to being the system builder.
🚀 The Call
Africa must flip the script:
• From consumer → creator
• From supplier → owner
• From asking for a seat → being the table
