Zambia has one of the most consistent growth levels in terms of G.D.P around the world. They register an impressive 6.7% average growth in G.D.P every year. The businessmen and women in the country are working really hard to ensure that the economy stays aloof.
Other than that the privatisation of the copper mining industry in their country has helped their economy a great deal as they greatly benefit from the production of copper.

Your photos are incorrect.
MONEY AND GOD IT’S OPPOSITE THAT’S WHY THEY CAN’T HELP THEY POOR.
1. Noble Findlay is rich yes but he cofounded auto world also with his late brother. (David findlays dad if you know him),
2. Auto world sells car parts and service products not selling cars. They sell boats and engines yes… and service cars.
3. Noble findlay is way richer than the estimate stated above.
4. The list fails to mention many rich zambians with income higher than the figures mentioned above. (Ie; Lawrence sikutwa, )
5. The amounts stated are away too low for what makes top 10 richest zambians.
