How would it feel to be a billionaire?

Most of us will never in this lifetime be able to answer that question simply because we will never know!

We might all struggle and struggle through life and finally make some millions after many years but billions? The chances are so slim that it is almost non existent.

Anyway, I don't want to be a billionaire, I only want to have enough money to keep body and soul together, but I encourage everyone to dream it and maybe you can achieve it!

Forget the Bill Gates', the Warren Buffets', the Zuckerbergs' etc, there are currently 29 African Billionaires and the following is the list as at 2014 according to Forbes:
