LUANDA, ANGOLA – JANUARY 27: A lady withdraws money from an Banco BFA ATM on January 27, 2020 in Luanda, Angola. Isabel dos Santos holds a 51% share of the bank through her telecommunications company Unitel. Businesswoman Isabel dos Santos is the daughter of the former President of Angola – Jose Eduardo dos Santos. Forbes Magazine put her fortune at $2.1billion making her the richest woman in Africa. How she made her fortune has come under scrutiny as international media using information from the Luanda Leaks have revealed how, during his presidency, her father sanctioned her acquisition of stakes in Angolan industries including banking, diamonds, oil and telecoms. In December 2019 the Angolan Courts froze Dos Santos’s stakes in Angolan companies as it bought a case against her regarding funds owed to the state oil firm. (Photo by Luke Dray/Getty Images)
