Zurich - The number of women among the world's billionaires has risen faster over the past two decades than that of men, mostly thanks to Asian female entrepreneurs, a study published on Tuesday showed. There were 145 female billionaires in the world at the end of 2014, compared with 22 in 1995, according to the study, conducted jointly by UBS bank and the PwC auditing firm. Male billionaires were still much more plentiful at 1,202, but their number was multiplied by just 5.2 over the period, against 6.6 for women. In Asia, the number of women billionaires rose more then eightfold, from 3 to 25. The study said at least half of Asia's richest women are first-generation corporate chiefs, who got their education in Europe or the United States before making their pile back home. In contrast, most of women billionaires in Europe and the US inherited their fortunes. The study pointed out, however, that they were often more active in developing their businesses than heiresses of previous generations.

How Africa is giving fast food a new spin -When Ebele Enunwa stopped for a bite to eat at his local branch of Port Harcourt's only fast food restaurant, the queue of people snaked all the way to the car park. The young investment banker turned away in frustration and decided to start his own fast food eatery which would raise the bar of service in Nigeria's oil and gas hub. In 2004 he opened Kilimanjaro, a chain of fast food restaurants which today has 20 outlets across Nigeria, including the capital Abuja and commercial center Lagos. The company is one of a growing number of fast food restaurants to sprout across Africa in recent years. Morocco and South Africa have seen average annual fast food outlet growth of between 3-4% from 2009 to 2014 according to Euromonitor, and markets in Sub-Saharan Africa have also become attractive to international chains. "Kenya and Nigeria are most obvious candidates from a macro perspective because they offer the desirable ingredients of an expanding middle-class, and a strong private sector backbone," says Elias Schulze, managing partner at the Africa Group, a boutique advisory and venture capital firm. "They have a challenging but growingly sophisticated supply chain, and adaptable consumer tastes," he adds.

ON MAY 14TH, 1984, MARK ZUCKERBERG was born in Westchester County, N.Y., to a dentist and a psychiatrist. Twenty years later, he launched the initial version of “Thefacebook” out of his Harvard dorm room. In August, a decade after opening to its first members, Facebook had one billion users in a single day. Zuckerberg is undoubtedly brilliant. But what if he had been born into a working-class family in Nigeria or Kenya? Would Facebook exist? Would the social-media revolution have unfolded in the same way? It’s impossible to know. But for too long, much of the world’s talent has been shut out of the global economy. In the future, raw ability will be more important than the circumstances of one’s birth, reinforcing this fundamental truth: Brilliance and talent are evenly distributed, opportunity is not.
