African billionaire Aliko Dangote is wealthier than ever now that his long-awaited Nigerian oil refinery is up and running. But his mood suggests a man who just built his dream house only for the roof to start leaking.

And it’s more than doubled his net worth to $27.8 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
