Africa is a continent with a lot of billionaires and millionaires, each with a love of luxury cars.
From businessmen to musicians, many have luxury cars, but who owns the most expensive car in Africa?
While you may think that South Africa’s Johann Rupert or Nigerian Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa, has the most expensive car, you would be sorely mistaken, though they both have many luxury vehicles.
You might even think Davido or Burna Boy own the most expensive car, but you would be wrong.
