Billionaires.Africa presents its ranking of the wealthiest Tanzanian investors on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE). The data used for this analysis is sourced from our data provider, S&P Global Market Intelligence, as well as publicly available documents and disclosures. The valuation of their shares is determined by the prices recorded at the close of trading on June 26, with the valuations converted to U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates.
It is important to note that Billionaires.Africa focuses on individual ownership rather than multi-generational family fortunes. In cases where the breakdown of ownership among siblings or couples is unclear, we attribute the fortune to the most prominent and visible member of the family.
