Richest Blacks


What's a blog about money and social issues that does not mention the Forbes' list of the world's wealthiest. Coming in at #97 overall and #1 richest Black person is Ethiopian born Mohammed Al Amoudi, with a net worth of $9 billion. Of course the usual suspects are on the list, Oprah, Bob Johnson (BET). It is good to see that Blacks in other countries are building wealth and investing in their communities and did not make their money in the entertainment industry. There are other ways to make money besides sports and music !! Not to sound mean but examples of wealth for Black Americans is always tied into entertainment not science, law, investing and that is scary. See who else is on the list.
