The 10 Successful People Who Keep Cool Under Pressure – Desmond Tutu, Dangote, Elon Musk Make List

7. Aliko Dangote

For the richest man in Africa, with the estimated net worth of $14.4 billion, it is an absolute necessity to prevent stress. How can one effectively manage billion-dollar investments in Nigeria, Benin, Ethiopia, Senegal, Cameroon, Ghana, South Africa, Togo, Tanzania, Zambia, and countless other parts of Africa without a clear mind? It seems impossible. That is why Aliko Dangote, the owner of Dangote Group, makes time for quality exercise during his daily schedule.

“Exercise is better than any medicine I can take”, he expressed during a lecture at the Lagos Business School in 2012. “Exercise and sleep”, he clarifies.  Even though most of the sleeping is done while travelling from one business concern to the other, Dangote says that sleep does the trick for him.

The 60-year-old Nigerian also lets off steam by driving around, chatting with friends, and attending parties briefly. “My only enjoyment is to sit around and talk with my friends, and exercise…I like to exercise. Also, if people are doing weddings or whatever, I like to show up for 10-20 minutes and then I go”, Dangote added during the lecture.
