As the economy struggles to stay afloat, it's hard not to notice the stark contrast between those who are barely scraping by and those who are living the high life. A recent drive-by observation revealed that some individuals are enjoying the finer things in life, despite the economic downturn.

It's no secret that recessions can be a great time to make money, or perhaps becoming a public officer is the way to go – just kidding!

But in all seriousness, the countries with the most millionaires in Africa are:

South Africa

Egypt

Nigeria

Morocco

Kenya

Angola

Ghana

Ethiopia

Tanzania

Cote d’Ivoire

According to a report by Afrasia Bank, these countries have the highest number of high-net-worth individuals in Africa.
