UGANDA'S LIST OF THE WEALTHIEST

The per capita income in Uganda in 2012 was approximately US$490 annually. An estimated 25% of the 35,000,000 Ugandans live on less than US$1.00 per day. Under those circumstances, wealth accumulation that would not merit mention in wealthier communities attracts a lot of attention in Ugandan circles.
Compiled here is a list of individuals in Uganda whose accumulated assets are known to be markedly above the rest of the individuals in the country. The list is not exhaustive and net worth values are hard to determine. The list is divided into seven classes of wealthy individuals and, the names are arranged alphabetically in each class, using the first name to select rank. The classes include;
The New Money Class (Acquired their wealth within the last fifteen years), The Young Entrepreneurs (Less than fifty years old), The Executive Class (CEO's and Managing Directors of government departments and private firms), The Expatriates (Non-Ugandans; some in this class may have dual citizenship), The Pastors (Pastors of Pentecostal churches are sometimes wealthy), The Old Money Class (These individuals inherited their wealth that has run in their families for generations) and, The Super Rich (Many individuals in this class would be classified as wealthy, even in wealthy countries)

EROTIC STAGE ACT:DANCE CREW GETS NAUGHTY

They're called Khanga Moja from Tanzania during a show in Bukoba recently

TOP EARNERS


Octopizzo, P-Unit and DNA are the highest earners from technology based music distribution platform and online portal dubbed Mdundo.com. The recently developed online platform is geared at presenting an alternative channel for local  artistes to market and deliver their music to millions of mobile phone subscribers. Through a recent and ongoing partnership with Samsung Electronics East Africa, customers purchasing the new Galaxy Music handset have been enjoying a five-day premium account from the portal allowing the customers to download all content for free and local artistes to generate revenue from their talent. According to Mdundo.com CEO Gustav Ericsson, a number of local artistes are already lined up, to receive a share of hundreds of thousands of shilling generated during the recent three month pilot period for the portal. “We are constantly looking for new ways to generate revenue for our artists. We are very excited to announce today that we are now set to make our first payment. We aim to fund most of our downloads with different forms of branding and marketing from corporates to our rich and diverse database of users.” Established late last year,they had been providing music scratch cards to artistes distributing music on the platform. The artiste could subsequently sell the cards at concerts, through their own channels and get to keep 100 per cent of the revenue. Band member of P-Unit and Mdundo brand ambassador, Frasha concludes, “I think that this is one of the most innovative ways of selling music, and making our music easily available to our fans. Above all it’s a good revenue stream for the artistes.”
