In recent times, Ghana has been growing in leaps and bounds towards being recognized in the globe when it comes to wealth and riches.

Quite true that Ghanaians are yet to make it to the list of Africa’s Richest or World Richest Men. If not that Ghanaians are not just good at broadcasting their worth for public analysis and rankings, one or more Ghanaians would have made the list by now.

However, the richest people in Ghana have been revealed after extensive research by Ghanaian management and consulting firm, Goodman AMC. The report follows Goodman AMC tracking of successful entrepreneurs and investors in Ghana who have $100 million or more in assets and investments. The findings reveal that the top 80 richest people in Ghana have a combined wealth of $29.3 billion and employ over 150,000 Ghanaians directly. Goodman AMC’s Ghana Wealth Report discovered 3 billionaires and 77 multimillionaires who all form part of a group of individuals called the Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWI).

The report does not cover politicians who acquired their wealth by virtue of them being in active politics and monarchs who acquired their wealth through their royal status. Ownership of closely-held assets which could not be substantiated were also left out of the calculation.

Goodman AMC says it calculated net worth by using some degree of estimation to value each person’s assets and properties as well as stakes in public and private firms, and performance on the Ghana Stock Exchange.
