Congo's Extravagant Millionaires: The Crazy Lives of Africa's Ultra-Rich | Documentary

I always wonder 🤔
Why and Who divided Congo in 2 ? 😳🤔
What was their mother tang language 📝 (the original) ?

If I may ask, what is the aim of your presentation?
Have Chinese people not done enough in Africa, after the colonisers? What will the Japanese be doing?

@@muslimahsista colonization, drc was from belgium and the other congo from france

@@sunix8078 u stuck in time bro

@@InThe_Anna.Jones.338 why is that, is there any other reason that i dont know that may be the reason why the 2 congos are separate countrys

It's the poorest because rich countries are busy looting their resources creating unnecessary wars. If we have a stable DRC, and with good leadership, that is the weak link the rich countries have found to loot African resources.

Berlin conference, you tube it in case you did not know already

@@andrewwalden8851 has nothing to do with the Berlin Conference and everything to do with US interference in the 60s. When you get all your history from youtube, you will always be minimally informed

The Chinese own most of the Cobalt, so who sold them that, that's used for solar panels & electric batteries.

​@@michaelmcrorie2330a dictator who is a result of the berlin conference

They speak mixture of swahili and lingala

Kiswahili is one of our national languages...

Of caulse swahili is spoken also in congo one of the 72 language in congo

Swahili is one of the best African languages to learn as well as being easy on the ears.

You're absolutely right, to be a successful in life required not only hard work but awareness and sometime opportunity at the moment, investment remains the best way to start.

I agree with you. Investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity. And not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed return.

yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legit investment or business without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to great loss too.

Exactly and many of us don't know where to invest our money so we invest it on wrong place and to the wrong people

Africa economy is very poor and the leaders are not ready to make changes.

the scammer that sells fake medicinal drink to the sick? scamming those with aids?

Oh, check South Africa or Eswatini. I lived in Eswatini for 19 years and the wealth disparity is staggering. The city is divided into 4, those living in the city are middle income, slightly out the city are the suburbs and this is where high earners and ultra rich gates communities are found. Once you pass this area, you then reach the townships where the poorest live in multitudes, outside that are "semi-rural settlements" with some few mansions. In high school just mention the area you live in and we can automatically estimate what your household income might be and the profession of your parents.

Africa is a continent not a country.

@Lisaplains ....of all the multiple issues about Africa that this documentary raised...this is the best comment you could make?....dummy

Usa is headed in that direction

​@@Eightpspi. Headed? Already there. Homelessness has increased. The richer get richer, no trickle down to workers.

100%, same.

Ruined by this narrator ancestors .....wonder how much he made from this documentary......They just keep coming back for more .

@@raeweeks9285 Don't worry, China will save you

Back for more? Hahaha

@@HarryShagnasty-sc9zd I am sure he's a monetized blogger hunting content.

The witch Uncle you mentioned in this case is the politican(s).

Spot on!

More like an athlete who started running as a junior and whose rich uncles were in charge of all his earnings. But the athlete is now grown up but still let's these greedy uncles distract him and in the process keep hold of his earnings.

Facts

Sounds more like Dembele playing for Barcelona😀

For sure it's very helpful. The need to build your own is very important.

They take their wealth nowadays to Dubai. Behind times Bro

This wealth inequality isn't helping anyone

Ironically when your rich most of the stuff you buy is Imported.

Yea local across the river of poverty so all the poor people can look at them in awe...wtf shit is mad weird

congo in general is like heaven, but it sad how africa hasnt changed it extremely sad, i dont know when africa will be liberated

@@fynndjabaah3679 Its so sad

You forgot to mention the corrupt politicians who sell their countries and counterparts out to foreigners.
There's a reason why China is so prominently placed in Africa, metals and mining.

Can’t do that with too many corrupt men. Easily tempted with money in sight

Need a complete government overhaul first. Africa has received billions in aid and you couldnt tell at all. no evidence. all stolen

I wouldn't call east Africa advanced, maybe to you as an Indian it may look very rich, but in absolute terms it's still one of the poorest and most dangerous regions in the world

What ship were you working on that you can't differentiate between East and West Africa. DR Congo is not in West Africa or East Africa,

This report is a rebroadcast...I had seen it before last year...very interesting 😮

What do you see "good" here?
I see the rich people using you all , even your children they will work to death instead of educating them.
They are keeping you as low slaves living in the dirt.

Good things? You mean westerners are tired of exposing their people and are trying to expand. "Oh this is how the rich live and this is how the poor live, truly horrible thing that doesn't happen in our country" "This what the rich did to become rich" This is how they took advantage of the poor people." Westerners always have to establish moral superiority. Taking advantage of the less fortunate or knowledgeable doesn't exist there. Income gaps don't exist in the west either right? What have you actually learned from this? That the congolese people haven't lost hope?

But they purposefully leave out what the westerners did to the congo and its people

@@Demir0509 They do as they are told to do.

Africa is being robbed for almost hundred years by white people or your western film makers.... turning your nation around little finger for their profit since early 20th century. Open your EYES! They are not there because they want to help you, only to take materials. If I feel sorry for anyone, its Africa for sure. That many of you and still can't live at your own peace/rules. Every time I hear african people attacked this and this company-corporation of white people makes me happy! And I'm white.

That's sex/gender discrimination against males

@@keith1689 it’s called positive discrimination in favor of women in a male dominated polical/business environment in Africa. It’s called Affirmative Action here in USA. Michelle and Barack Obama probably were beneficiaries( not 100% sure but I suppose) of the program which gave them access to Harvard University, which was historically a white male dominated University.

@@keith1689 it's not discrimination my friend. Women goes through through so much in life. When men runs away, women are left to care for themselves and the children. That doesn't mean that there are good men taking care of children who are single parent.

@@fatou1975yes but woman have more legal rights (the only one that matters, your feelings are not facts) in first world countries.
Things like woman only products and spaces should be welcomed in places like africa but if you bring that shit up in developed countries you‘re just delusional how easy you have it

But if her investors are all men, eventually she has to answer to the investors. They INVEST to get a RETURN. So who really is making money? This could just be a marketing strategy

And us women

@@kimmosanky7353 🙄

@@Supremeklips what?

Africa should not have sold those slaves those slaves that was sold is the soldiers Africa needs

My God 🙏 will end this foolish injustice soon!! 🙅

Yet you do nothing? Crocodile tears

are we watching the same documentary? this all seems very encouraging in contrast to a quite recent past..

Totally DISGUSTING!! 💯🤦 The poor suffer 😭 while the rich 🤑 gets richer..God this is so wrong!!!

​@@naturalbeauty4734you are wrong!! I see the "rich" creating jobs and industry helping the poor. Stop complaining and get to work!!!

@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993must people show off what they do to help others on public platforms? Who are you to say this? Smh

God cannot do it...Africans have to do it...they stop being greedy ,dishonest, selfish and organise their governments properly...

Its not the inhabitants who benefit from the chaos and war, the West benefits much more from Africas natural resources by making sure Africa stays in this instability.

God 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's not going to take God it's going to take bullets

​@@blacqgod8023what you don't believe in God? LOL

Why are the roads in such a mess? Where is all this ‘help’ you speak of?

@LisePlansandJournals So what do you suggest you and the people need to do? Because if the wealth leaves, you can't build infrastructure. You need their wealth to stay, and it takes a long time if you feel this way, then do something and contribute instead of asking it will never get better while doing nothing but complaining about the it

U wrong!!!

​@@LisePlansandJournalsHaha. Watch Empire of Dust. It explains it all

What a profound statement. So true!

That false hope is "religion". Doesn't matter how poor or uneducated you are, religion gives you that false sense of hope and determination, while they pick your pockets.

@@Inspirationdiariesprofound statement indeed

Yes this is true ! Well known fact. Very sad

Well said

Probably the majority of them as well as EV manufacturers etc

Why are the roads in such a dilapidated mess? Who exactly is he helping?

@@LisePlansandJournals The roads is responsibility of the government, in most African countries individuals have offered themselves to make roads the government doesn't accept because they want yo take credit. He is helping the people that he employes his band is huge.

He probably owns a property in Framce or Belguim too. Most wealthy Congolese do.

​@Pyrrhic537 That is what she/he does not know. Even their children do not go to schools or hospital in DRCONGO.

@beatamafulu2405 Exactly. They go to top private hospitals and schools in mostly France, Switzerland and Belgium.

always the way

they will pay one day

True

Naw there leaders sold there minerals to enrich themselves … the president of Niger I believe his daughter had a 25million apt. In newyork

On God

The biggest downfall is politicians

Thats the issue with Africa. There are varieties of fruits in Africa that can be used to make juices and sell. Yet the mindset is still that of the West is better. How can poor people afford to keep importing from the West and expect to have a good economy? Its really the mindset

With them joining EAC ....we will trap that opportunity there

Poor people seem to be the happiest

THEY ARE BEING ROBBED BY EUROPEAN NATIONS & NOW CHINA.. THEY NEED TO STOP THIS NON SENSE AND DEMAND REPARATIONS AND KEEP THE WEALTH OF THERE NATION AND CHARGE FAIR MARKET RATES.. THIS IS BS

His a bloody manipulator stealing from those that don't have and selling his Ponzi scheme. In your Canada this will not be allowed so don't try to promote it as good practice. IT IS SO WRONG

Ye, its so wonderful to see how over 80 % of Africans live in epic poverty, as long as there are rich Africans!!!!

real

Of course a fat white chick would write this. If you love Africa so much why don’t you go there? Straight up blue voter right here

If you're fishing were people are riding jet skis then.. you need to become a better fisherman

@siphiweparker6178 Him being the only owner of a jet ski in that area he needs to be more considerate
Of others who don't have £3.5 million and building a flash mansion next to their mud huts, I get ya... fuck the poor man and their crippled minds.

lmao true, but he did give them the same amount of money they would make working in a week..🤙🏿

@williampierce4513 I see he is enrolling a benefits system where he pays locals not to work and get lazy with no skills for work, but what if with the money given was to be spent on fish....
Why are there no fish at the market one could ask?

@@MrSmithBFD You just see what you want. Have a great week tho🤙🏿

😂; but if he's fooling them why does he have so many followers? Is he voodoo 😢them or something you think? People can be so vulnerable. It doesn't take much to give them hope.

I think he's speaking relatively. Take the minimum salary in your country and multiply by 100. Minimum salary in Cyprus is around 900 euros. Therefore by their saying, the ultra rich here would earn about 90 000 euros per month. But as usual, the ultra rich person in the video is the singer. The true ultra rich will never let cameras stream their houses in Africa. They live in gated and well protected neighbor hoods.

Nah its just hyping up numbers, nothing to do with being out of touch, get over it.

in a country where most people are not even making 100 a month, they are ultra-wealthy.

@@raeraesocraycray7702 As Charles indicated, the ultra rich would never allow cameras inside their homes. So the title show be "....the rich...."

That’s a lot of money in Jamaica only boses make that amount the richest of the richest

How do you think the elite get to the top? They steal and cheat, and once they get to the top, they steal, kill and cheat to stay there.

If UAE is more developed than USA despite having an abundance of natural resources, then why can't African leaders do the same to their country?

Its true....did you hear the miner's are paid 5€ per day 🤔....

The globe is pregnant with the revolution!

​@@LC-fe7beGlobe was much worse than this, and wasn't pregnant for revolution. So obviously this is laughable.

So if someone makes a business and becomes rich he is corrupt ? 😂

"The wicked politicians and business people must be targeted to bring the society a little better place."
The people must unite and solve their problems, this thing of waiting for someone else or God to solve your problems is the reason why they are in this mess. The money they used to travel to go to the pastor and buy his juice, they have should have combined it and built a school, roads, provide electricity for themselves, etc. But people are always looking for someone else to save them

@@Bambotb It's great to see people in Africa doing business and becoming rich but corruption comes to mind when you look at African governments selling natural resources abroad and keeping all the profits for themselves instead of investing in healthcare, education, infrastructure. There's enough money in Africa but politicians keep most of that money for themselves that's why there are so many regular people struggling.
Ah and btw, you can do business and still be corrupt as an individual. It's very common in many countries (USA, UK, Russia...)
There is corruption in the West, too, the main difference is that Western countries share a lot of that wealth with their citizens, most African countries don't

@@prinka2096 the problem is always politicians...jealous idiots like this commenter wants to tax rich people tk give it to thieves politicians that's it

​@@Bambotb no but let's not pretend corruption doesn't exist everywhere.

Very sad for my Country
We hope to the new president dynamic to industrialized the sector of mines, all our minerals will be transformed in the Country to give Job to the Congolese Peoples
May God bless the people of Congo

I love her 😊

ShopRite in the USA too.

@@WakandaBabe not that one which was founded in New Jersey, it is only in the states. I mean South African Shoprite not ShopRite.

@@pollen_za You're right. I checked and the Jersey ShopRite is only in the states.

Middle class in Congo would be like $5000 a year so even a poor South Africa would be “middle class” in Congo compared to most poor people.
But being actually middle class like making 30k a year is rare and makes you part of the “rich”.

@@originalsal2141 😲🤯

God blessed Africa since creation....its for Africa to wake up...fight greediness,corruption and put the right leaders up there who will cater for all citizens not some......its sickening to see how majority are living below the poverty line and only very few minority are living large in a rich country like this.

Amen 🙏

If they made one today it would be much better but still chaotic. 😫

In land that so rich in diamonds and minerals this so sad

Please explain to me better because I want travel to Congo but what amount of money will I need to have to invest in phones accessories and house rent?

What is 20 dollars in Africa ,I spend more than 20 dollars in betting everyday in Africa ,we aren't poor

That project would be hard to join but there’s other impact projects that can be invested in or donated to.
One of the DRC’s biggest startups is Altech group a solar power company that raised $600, 000 in crowd funding from Kiva, won the Humanitarian Grant challenge for $1.5 million last year and recently raised $20 million in debt financing. It’s one of Africans fastest growing companies and perhaps they would be open to working with you.
