Two top Ghanaian billionaires who don’t embrace the title

General

It’s quite interesting that two of Ghana’s most prominent billionaires are reluctant to be labeled as such.

Mr. Daniel McKorley, founder of the McDan Group, and Dr. Kwabena Adjei, founder of Kasapreko Company Limited, have both expressed skepticism about the billionaire tag often attributed to them.

They feel they have not yet fully realised their potential, leaving them uncertain about the billionaire tag.

In separate interviews with vlogger Wode Maya, both McDan and Dr. Kwabena Adjei struggled with the question, “Are you a billionaire?”

Dr. Adjei, a well-known billionaire with substantial investments in Ghana and across Africa, directly stated that he does not consider himself a billionaire.

To him, aside from prominent figures like Aliko Dangote, no one in Ghana meets the billionaire standard, including himself.

‘I am not a billionaire. As for wealth, I can’t say I am a rich man. I am an average man, an average person. Recently I was in America, they are the rich ones with dollars.

‘So, if I h
ave some cedis, I can’t say I am a billionaire. In Africa, aside from Dangote, who else is rich? Nobody. Who is rich in Ghana? Nobody.’
