This is according to a report by AfrAsia Bank and New World Wealth, which listed Lagos as the only Nigerian state in its top ten list.
Lagos is Number 4 in the whole of Africa with only Cape Town and Johannesburg of South Africa and Cairo of Egypt above it.
Making up the rest of the top 10 were; Nairobi in Kenya, Luanda, Durban, Pretoria, Casablanca and Accra.
Four billionaires in dollars are mentioned to be resident in Lagos, with 360 multi-millionaires and 6,800 millionaires.
In calculating the wealth of Lagos, the report considered the “private wealth held by all the individuals living in each city. It includes all their assets (property, cash, equities and business interests) less any liabilities. We exclude government funds from our figures.”
