Inside Aliko Dangote's Luxurious
Mansion
This is for those who have always wanted to have a
sneaky peek at what the inside of the house of the richest
man in Africa looks like.
Africa Cradle reports that they have been allowed to visit
the mansion of the successful businessman, Aliko
Dangote. The media portal says that the house is on sale,
after the billionaire has lived in it for 12 years. Dangote
has allegedly purchased a new house in the United
Kingdom, where he wants to watch Arsenal FC and attend
all the games of his favourite team.
The house looks amazing both outside and inside…
Dangote was quoted as saying as he was showing his
living room:
“I have to be there! I have to be there. Television is an
invention that permits you to be entertained in your living
room by people you wouldn’t have in your home. I love
watching television. I watch a lot of business channels,
such as Bloomberg TV, which is my favourite and many
others. I look forward to the day when Africa will have
quality media, which gives us good entertainment, and
insightful information into African business trends and
those from other parts of the world as well. But yeah,
welcome, this is my living room.”
The majority of business discussions are held in the room
specially designed for meetings with partners and
government officials.

Showing the correspondents into the kitchen, Dangote
said: “They say that the kitchen is the heart of the home. It
is where the meals are created – it fuels the bodies, minds
and souls of friends and families all over the world. Some
say that while life may be created in the bedroom, it is
certainly lived in the kitchen.”
The journalists’ journey continued with the demonstration
of Dangote’s home office: the place where great business
ideas emerge.
“Whether you work from home full time or a few hours a
week, setting up your home office properly is important for
your comfort and productivity. I have hosted a number of
very important people here, including Bill Gates, President
Goodluck Jonathan, and many others I am not inclined to
mention.”
Then comes the most private areas of the house: a
bedroom and a bathroom. The billionaire discloses he
does not sleep a lot, adding that sleep lovers end up being
poor.
“I feel bed to show you where I sleep, you know. But here is
where I sleep. My wife and I try the best we can to keep this
place as serene and quiet as possible. To tell you the truth, I
spend less time here than I do in my office and elsewhere
where I can work. I do value relaxation and unwinding, and I
have read a lot of news articles and research studies that
recommend eight to ten hours of sleep. But why should one
sleep so much? To relax? Don’t get me wrong, relaxing is
good, but if you love to sleep, poverty will be your portion.
Well, this is my bedroom, let’s move on.”
And finally the luxurious bathroom…
