Alakija is worth at least $3.3 billion, about $300 million
more than American television personality Oprah.
The 62-year-old started her career as a secretary at the
erstwhile Merchant Bank of Nigeria, but moved to England in the early 1980s to
study fashion design. She then returned to set up a high-end label called
Supreme Stitches. However, a significant proportion of Alakija’s fortune comes
from an oil-exploration license granted to her company Famfa Ltd. in 1993.
