Nothing beats being young and rich. While most people attain multi-million dollar and
billion dollar fortunes in their 40s and 50s, a few savvy entrepreneurs hit the
big time while in their 20s and 30s.
There are a handful of young African
entrepreneurs who’ve legitimately built multi-million dollar companies while in
their 20s and 30s. A few of them have taken the helm of small companies and
spun them into companies with valuations of $1 billion or more. All aged 39 and under,
they are worth watching closely.
One of them is Nigerian Business man, Igho Charles Sanomi II, founder and
Chief Executive Officer of the Taleveras Group, an internationally recognized
energy and power. In 2004, Igho Sanomi founded the Taleveras Group, a Nigerian energy
trading company. Taleveras trades over 100 million barrels of crude oil as well
as several million tons of gasoline, LPG and jet fuel. In April 2012, Taleveras
acquired production sharing contracts (PSCs) for three offshore oil blocks in
Ivory Coast. In June 2013, Taleveras sold a 65% stake in one of its Ivorian
offshore upstream projects to Lukoil of Russia for an undisclosed price.
Taleveras also owns a stake in a power distribution firm in Nigeria. Sanomi is
38 years old.
