Nathan Kirsh, the only billionaire in the tiny kingdom of Eswatini, briefly crossed $20 billion on Friday, a threshold just two other Africans have reached. Forbes' real-time index now puts the wealth of the 94-year-old cash-and-carry pioneer at $19.8 billion, placing him alongside Aliko Dangote and Johann Rupert as the only people on the continent above that line. He began the year worth about $9.1 billion.
