The Amazing Wealth of Silent Billionair­e Abdulkadir Adisa Aliu

-

In the comity of wealthy Nigerians, there are those who are just climbing the ladder of billions and there are those who have made a permanent home atop the ladder. They are, to mention just a few, Otunba Mike Adenuga, Aliko Dangote, Chief Femi Otedola, and Rasak Okoya of Eleganza fame among others. To penetrate this seemingly impervious circle takes more than aggression and brashtalki­ng. Abdulkadir Adisa Aliu, the Group Chief Executive Officer and a founding member of Matrix Group, is gradually inching closer to that exclusive club.

It takes a determinat­ion and no little measure of cojones to wilfully climb a ladder that others have avoided for fear of falling and breaking their necks. Yet that is exactly what the enterprisi­ng dude has done which has got him where he is today. A high net worth individual that keeps a refreshing low profile in an era of big men flaunting their big wealth in big ways, Abdulkadir nonetheles­s does not joke with his home comforts.

Little wonder he went all out to get himself a palatial mansion in the exclusive Banana Island. The luxurious home is what a devout might mistake for paradise at first glance. Furnished to the hilt with the latest gadgets and amenities, the multi-million Naira wonder-on-land, smart edifice has set many eyes bulging in admiration.

Abdulkadir, who owns Bluefin Depot in Warri and Matrix Mega Plant, has also made a big move to complement his kingly living. He has reportedly taken delivery of a customised private jet. With it, he flies all over the world like a happy bird, spending his money acquiring all that wealth can buy.
