Isabel Dos Santos
Having a fortune estimated at $2.6 billion, the oldest daughter of Angola’s former president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos has built a vast empire in the country’s capital, Luanda with businesses ranging from banks, telecommunications, to sports and satellite TV. Africa’s richest woman also owns Candando, the country’s first supermarket and has stakes in BIC and BFA banks and in the cement company Nova Cimangola. Her father made her head of Sonangol, Angola’s state oil firm, in June 2016, but Angola’s new president removed her from that role in November 2017.
