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

A Congolese here, born and raised. Can’t fathom how DRCongo is still in this dire situation... But it’s my country and I love it. I sometimes do presentations in Japanese schools mostly and they seem to love what they see and hear about my country. We have a lot to offer to the world. And everyone can be happy and live peacefully. There is no reason for people to suffer in a country that has it all. But this is the result of human nature of greed. Congo is already rising… 🙌🏽🇨🇩💯

How is Congo the 8th poorest country in the world when it has the most resources?Africa needs to wake up and stop this nonsense.These rich Africans need to understand how and where to invest.

The fact that i heard someone speak swahili and he is in congo and am in kenya made me smile......

Africa's wealth gap is staggering

This is amazing! Changed my whole perspective of the Congo and the people who live there. Very beautiful

This lady is genuine passionate to uplift the people of her country

Congo is like a very talented athlete who can achieve anything in so many sports but doesn't train hard enough and doesn't understand how much he can achieve and his witch uncle blocks his life

It’s helpful when the rich don’t take their wealth to the west and instead stay local, that way maybe their spending might help a little locally.

Excellent report! I learned a lot on DRC! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the crew for bringing this doc

Rich people alway fine way to multiply money on anything they do, why poor people alway eat what they have with them.

God rescue Africa from dishonesty!! This continent is so wealthy but the inhabitants are so greedy 😢

LOVE such content .. it really exposes me to different part of the world. i am surprised even tho DRC is reportedly having different problems but they have a population of about 100 MILLION people. incredible.

I'm happy to learn that some western film makers are willing to broadcast good things about African countries like Congo.

Zambia 🇿🇲and congo🇨🇩 the bond is strong 💪♥️god bless Africa in and out on the diaspora

This is gut wrenching to see what's happening in this country 😢

Interesting. I like how the story flows from the various aspects of society.

As an African it breaks my heart watching our blessed continent in such ruins

It's amazing to see how these documentary stories have been interconnected, making it truly special. 👌🏻❤️

I wish marie and her family the best of luck. Seems to be a amazing mother! God bless her!

What really excites me is the fact that a woman has come up with a business product for ladies only. That's awesome.

Great doc, we appreciate as Congolese how you showcased ,not as usual wars, but the positive and hope souls.

I worked onboard ships and have had the fortune to visit many countries in Africa during my time. There was a stark difference in quality of life between East Africa and West Africa. East Africa with minimal resources is advanced and have been able to bank on a lot of opportunities in the Indian Ocean. West Africa, is where the resources are but it’s staggering to see the wealth disparity. They need to get the resources under their control and be a bit more business oriented.

What a sham earning money with using the name of prophet (no words for this crazy men)

Wow the eastern part of Congo has very beautiful landscape covered in green. 😍

Fishing to survive then some millionaire scares the fish away with his jet ski then takes credit for his small donation HA.

Tears of Africa will never end for sure. The risks we men take sometimes to put food on the table is breathtaking.

In Africa we have so many churches n prophets that's why we are still blind, imagine people are drinking that juice they don't even know how it's made, a prophet who's walking with guards holding guns seriously, pls we must wake up now 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Its really good the wealthy are not leaving with their wealth and staying in the country to help build it up ❤ From England 🇬🇧

Its all about connections i don't care what country you in

Imagine working six days for a full week salary of £6😢😢😢...Nothing shocks me as a person born and raised in neighboring Uganda.I pray things get better in future but that I'd hard

The program was super fantastic and full of missing information to me and I'm so happy that I learn alot about Congo and its ambitious community fighting poverty in addition to that it gives me courageous and inspiration to see wealthy people wich brought their fortune to live their country instead of western

People need something to live for. Give them even false hope and they will live with even greater determination for tomorrow.

If Africa decided to unite and make a “United states of Africa” they’d be a powerhouse

I love her women's empowerment taxi concept. It's wonderful.!!!

Most people who live extravagantly are involved in some type of “easy come easy go” endeavor. I know from experience. I once had a business partner who had a 25,000 sq ft home. Turned out his company had been screwing people over for over a decade. They screwed me over too and I walked away with an education and just barely enough to start over. It’s all part of life. I knew it could happen, and I was able to go on to make millions, but I’m sure it doesn’t go that way for most people. Just live your life the best you can, keep your head up and be aware that it’s not really a battle unless you feel it is.

the guy is down to earth he is so kind to give those worker money and understand their situation..God bless him more

DRC will rise

I remember watching this during the lockdowns.

600 millionaires and they couldn’t help build housing for those people. It’s sick how they can live right across the river from poverty and not do anything.

billionaires steal their minerals to live luxuriously outside the countries.

We all know the pain of traffic wardens with whistles who do nothing but make confusion and noise. 😂 I’m shocked that a house in that location almost $1 million

The startling contrasts are amazing...so is the constant energy of the people!

It's gut wrenching to see what is happening on the whole continent of Africa .......😢

Vally lives lavishly, but borrowed a generator...😮

Well narrated film!

Congo's go forward. They changed and now looking amazing!❤

I wish each Congolese to enjoy their rich land and show the world they can manage their resources by themselves without the outsiders

As someone who knew many Lebanese, Greeks who had business in the DRC I would say there are well more than 600 millionaires. Probably more like 20,000 millionaires.

Congo has a huge potential as an investment destination. How can juices be imported from Europe while, it can be produced locally? Congo,here i come.

Je suis Zambien mais j'áime d'apprend l'histoire du Congo parce que c'est interessent et important DIEU BENI CONGO🙏👏

So much respect for hard work. Hustling intentionally

Thank you Fally for demonstrating your humanity in giving your young fellow countrymen some $. ❤️

If the rich dont help the poor uplift themselves the poor might someday burn their whole city to ground

My prayers are with them I hope it’s never a land slide! And watching this video made me be more grateful growing up in Compton,CA

The guy could be living in Europe or America but he decided to stay home and help his people. In fact some of those small business guys do have at least $1k in their bank account. Folks in Europe getting paid 3k Europs they pay 1.5k for rent are totally broke. It's heartbreaking to her the salary of that nurse really sad.

I wish I meet with him, I was there one month ago, I I'll be back before December I'll try to search for him when i arrive, I like what his doing, and I leave in Florida

Which phones manufacturing companies are benefiting from these mines, I believe they are the once pushing with the destabilization of Congo to get these resources at a cheap price

Marie is an incredible woman! I am inspired!!

Riches money luxury are not allowed only for the western world. God showers blessings on both poor and the rich, BLACK and white. May God bless Africa

That minister seems outrageous to me. Seems to me he’s scamming those people.

Happy 😊 for the new parents they will be great parents good to see Congo modernizing ❤

Informative Video

🙏🏾🙏🏾 Beautiful.!! They even have a star shaped sun in that neighborhood at "13:40" in the video😂 regardless very beautiful 🫡

For a country that is a mineral power house this is sad.

as an Asian businessman.. that is the best time to start a business when your country is still building up., ill go with services and agricultural sector if im living there.😊

8.20 One officer is telling me to go this way and the other saying go that way 😂

It's very exciting to see progress happening in Africa! Can I get that magic juice at 7-11 in the U.S.?

Love Africa.... Great documentary. I think it's just wonderful how some of these humans have made their way out of poverty. What I find even more commendable is that they've chosen to keep their wealth in their beautiful country. Such a sad state of affairs when impoverished countries lose their budding entrepreneurs to a wealthier country. No country will ever rise above poverty, etc... when the "Movers and Shakers" remove potential growth from their homeland by leaving. I don't like that self proclaimed, "Prophet" though. He's without a doubt, a sidewinder. But? He gives hope to many, irregardless if he's a fake, and sometimes that's all one needs to rise above and stay the course. Without hope? All is lost. So? Whatever... 'Juice Guy". Smh. (p.s.... Saw that one young man's hat, the mine worker.. "Molson Canadian Beer... NHL.... I was all... Wooooo hooooo... He's wearing our hat!? 😂🤜💥🤛 Big ❤ from, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada

I really like the positivity and ambition all of the people have! I sincerely hope the DRC will thrive and its people will be happy. I just hate this pastor making money out of fooling people. In my country, Brazil, he would be arrested for illegally practicing medicine.

0:48 that's a good title for a financial advisor book Lol

Iove the young married couple i wish them the best 🙏🏽

In Africa natural resources is more of a curse than a blessing. And I don't understand why the people in power don't see that the trajectory we're on as a continent is not sustainable (that is spending decades plundering the wealth of nations at the expense of everyone else). I pray to God that we eventually get it right.

Calling people who earn €3000/month ultra-rich for any capital city in the world shows how DW is out of touch with anything outside Europe.

Africa needs New leadership!

Reminds me of when I used to work in Guyana except far more developed with much better roads

Kenya has one of these pastors,selling holy water

I just can't get over the phophet and his damn juice.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING GRACE

The Congo would be the richest country on Earth if it weren't for greedy, incompetent, self-serving politicians. The African continent was blessed with beauty and natural resources but deeply cursed by poor leadership, a curse we are still paying for today.

A country in Africa, speaking French/belgium, using the British Pound, what could go wrong?

Patricia is just undefinable God will bless her

Greed, pure greed that is leaving people starving. Sad

This isn’t new documentary. Kinshasa doesn’t no longer look like that. This definitely not in 2023. This around 2015

I know poverty in Africa is harsher without social security that the West is privileged to have. However, there is poverty and disparity of wealth everywhere on earth. We all have to voice out Anti-corruption. No countries are corruption proof, because we all get enticed by money on all levels of the society. "No" to corruption. The citizens have to advocate and practise. The wicked politicians and business people must be targeted to bring the society a little better place.

Look at all that earth saving clean energy.

The comments about the continued poverty in DRC are unintelligent. Rebel factions, the UN, and France help maintain the instability. So ask yourself how you can help to rid DRC of foreign instability and create positive working relationship between rebel factions to end the inequities.

I would gladly invest $100,000usd in the damn project.

Hard work is not enough

That “prophet” & his juice Must be stopped 😂😂

this explains alot

Glorifying a mine operator that is a criminal by calling him a businessman? What the hell is going on here. These people who made this documentary should be ashamed of themselves. There is nothing good about what these so called millionaires are doing. The guy has millions but the roads to his mines are killing people?

Selling petrol juice as remedy while shaking the prime Minister hands 😆 🤣 wtf

Beautiful Country

I always wonder 🤔 Why and Who divided Congo in 2 ? 😳🤔 What was their mother tang language 📝 ? Thanks for sharing, this wonderful video and information 👍

Talk about being dressed up with nowhere to go.

Eric is the goat 👊

This might be 2018 or beginning of 2019 and i was in Rubaya during that time! I think i saw these guys shooting this documentary 😂. Have collaborated with Landry for few weeks.

"breathtaking view" might be a bit of an overstatement...

To be filthy rich in Congo all you need is 20 dollars.
