@atlasberry008: Aliko Dangote just opened the biggest IPO in African history — a $1.6 billion share sale of his Lagos refinery, at a $47 billion valuation. The bet behind it: announced in 2013 at ~$9 billion and 3 years. It took $20 billion and 11 years — most of it his own money. And his goal for the exit is the part I love. His words: "We want it to be like when you buy Amazon or you buy Apple... everybody has become a millionaire." Minimum ticket: 10 shares — about $4, on fintech apps. Bloomberg: the listing could add $23 billion to his net worth — past Griffin, past Schmidt. Conviction, marked to market.
