Nigerian Billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi’s Net Worth Rises to $2.3 Billion

Nigerian-American billionaire Adebayo Ogunlesi has recently seen his net worth increase to $2.3 billion, up from $1.7 billion. 

This boost in his wealth came shortly after he joined the team at OpenAI. Ogunlesi is known for his large investments in major companies like BlackRock, Kosmos Energy, Topgolf Callaway, and Goldman Sachs.

He was invited to be part of OpenAI’s board of directors, which is a big step for him into the world of artificial intelligence. His role at OpenAI will likely use his skills in business strategy to help the company grow.

Ogunlesi is also known for leading Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), which manages over $100 billion in assets, making it the biggest independent infrastructure manager in the world. 

His business moves include a deal with BlackRock, where GIP and BlackRock created a major investment platform in infrastructure, handling assets worth billions.

His involvement with OpenAI is expected to shape the company’s future direction and expand its influence globally in the tech industry.
