According to Forbes, Aliko Dangote has acquired a new private jet, a Bombardier Global 7500, which is one of the largest and most luxurious business jets in the world. The aircraft is valued at around $73 million.

Here are some key features of the Bombardier Global 7500:

• Passengers: Up to 19 people
• Cabin: Spacious cabin with a floor-to-ceiling height of 6.4 feet (1.9 meters)
• Amenities: Includes a private office, a conference room, a galley (kitchen), and a master suite with a bed and en-suite bathroom

The acquisition of this new aircraft is a testament to Dangote's growing business empire and his ability to invest in luxury assets. As one of the richest men in Africa, Dangote's net worth is estimated to be over $20 billion, according to Forbes.

The addition of the Bombardier Global 7500 to his fleet is a significant upgrade and reflects his growing status as a global business leader.
