As a country, Ghana is endowed with natural resources like hydrocarbons, industrial materials and other precious natural metals.

Its mixed and digital economy has paved the way for some notable billionaires in the region to become the richest men and women in Ghana; some have also ranked among the richest people in Africa.

The country also ranks as the worlds’ second-largest producer of cocoa. Its vast resources have poised it to rank as a middle-income country.

Ghana is a middle-income country with vast resources at its disposal. It has a market-based economy; few policy barriers to trade have made its economy even more robust.

Ghanaian business magnate, Samuel Esson Jonah is one of the people who contribute to the GDP of the country. He has helped to reduce unemployment in Ghana and in some parts of Africa.

Dr. Jonah began his work in the early 1970s and joined Ashanti Goldfields in 1979, eventually advancing to the position of CEO. He led the firm to higher heights, making it the first African enterprise to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

In June 2003, Jonah became the first Ghanaian to be knighted in the 21st century when he was presented with an honorary knighthood (KBE) by the then Prince of Wales Prince Charles, now King Charles, in recognition of his achievements as an African businessman, a leading business executive from the Commonwealth, and an international public figure. In 2022, he explained that it should have been the late Queen Elizabeth but she was busy hosting another guest. Well, this is why there is a “Sir” to his name.
