In the inagural edition released last week, Kenya has 2 representatives (UK & CK) in the top 40 richest African men (no women), but no billionaires - atleast not considering Zim dollars ;-)

I find it hard to believe that Uhuru could be worth more than MO1. There was an interesting conversation earlier on Twitter by one @oleitumbi claiming that CK influenced the decision for him to be in the list, they only interviewed Larry Madowo and CK to come to place him number 2

Forbes also interviewed a certain jamaa from Standard Chartered in their 'analysis'
Kirubi said that he was "surprised" and "didn't know how they arrived at the figures"

I don't think Moi was considered as he probably transferred his assets to his kids.

They also didn't consider Chandaria because they believed the money is jointly held by the whole family.

I would love to see Kenya's Top 40! (and how they made it of coursesmile )
GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

After finding out that Larry Madowo was consulted and this stupidity I immediately disregarded the list as his stupid nonsense!This list is as stupid as Larry Madowo.

PS: The only reason I am ranting here is because I know he reads this site prior to doing his stupid shows which are basically is a rehash of the kenyan blogosphere! What an IDIOT
