The Downfall of the Once-Richest African Woman

How does one accumulate a $3.5 billion fortune in one of Africa’s poorest nations? This isn’t just anyone; she is Isabel Dos Santos, a woman who seemingly defied many odds to emerge as the first female billionaire in Africa. Despite being globally recognized for her achievements, she is now in the spotlight due to some intriguing developments. It appears that her success, as she repeatedly claims, isn’t self-made. In Angola, a nation plagued by civil war and poverty, Isabel built her empire, boasting ownership of hundreds of companies across different countries. However, the question arises: at whose expense? In January 2020, the world was left shocked when evidence surfaced, exposing Isabel’s numerous unscrupulous deals that propelled her to become Africa’s wealthiest woman. These revelations showed how she left a trail of riches for herself while leaving the nation in despair.
