In a video interview at a summit hosted by the London School of Economics in May 2017, Isabel dos Santos, Africa’s richest woman, addresses the camera face on. “What’s important is that we start telling the real African story…we hear a lot of the stories of what’s wrong, and I don’t think we hear enough of the stories of what’s right,” says the Angolan businesswoman, before explaining that she strives for “a culture of excellence, a culture of merit, a culture where young people have the opportunity to get a good job.”
Dos Santos [was] chairwoman of Angola’s giant state oil company, Sonangol Group—a post to which she’d been appointed by her father, Angola’s president. When her father retired later that year, dos Santos was fired from the position. Leaked documents now show that a day later, she approved $58 million in payments from Sonangol to a company in Dubai directed by one of her business partners.

#4 I thought Teresa Heinz (Kerry's meal ticket) was the richest African (she was also Angolan)

#5 Tuh-ray-zuh is from Mozambique. John Heinz was a "rising republican star" until he died in a helicopter crash. Funny how that Republican fortune became the Tides Foundation over night.
